What is a Point Conversion Reward ?

Point Conversion Rewards allow your customers to transform the points they've earned into discounts for their purchases. There are two ways they can enjoy this benefit:

Fixed Point Conversion
Percentage Point Conversion

In Fixed Point Conversion, customers can redeem a set number of points for a dollar discount. For example: Redeem 10 points for a $.

In Percentage Point Conversion, customers can use their points to get a percentage off their purchase. For example: Redeem 100 points for 1%.

This type of reward boosts customer engagement and sales by allowing customers to easily convert loyalty points into discounts, encouraging repeat purchases and fostering a loyal customer base.

Example scenarios:

Redeem 10 points to get $1 off (Fixed)
Redeem 100 points for 1% (Percentage)

Conversion Rate - Specify how many points equal a percentage, such as "100 points = 1%," and select "Percentage Discount" as the reward type.
Maximum percentage allowed - Specify the maximum percentage a customer can redeem per coupon. For example in the above screenshot I have set 20%. Which means even though I have 5000 points as my current point balance I can redeem a maximum of 2000 points and get 20% as a maximum discount. Also this is a required setting and you can only allow a maximum of 50% per coupon. We impose these limits to prevent excessive point redemptions and discounts. If you are interested in offering more than a 50% discount per coupon, please reach out to our support team.
Maximum reward amount per redemption - Specify the maximum amount a customer can redeem per coupon. For example, if the limit is set to $30, even if the customer has a 20% off coupon, the discount applied will not exceed $30 on the cart total. This ensures a cap on the maximum discount value.
Minimum points a customer can redeem per coupon - Set the lowest number of points customers can redeem per coupon (optional).
Maximum points a customer can redeem per coupon - Set the highest number of points customers can redeem per coupon (optional).
Display name for the coupon (when redeeming) - Choose the label displayed on the discount coupon upon redemption, like "100 points = 1%."
Ordering - Adjust where this reward appears in the Customer Reward Page and Launcher by increasing or decreasing its ordering value.
Coupon Expiry (optional) - Set a validity for the reward. Example: 15 days. This means, when a customer can claim the discount value, the reward (which is issued in the form of a coupon) will expire in 15 days.
