Set up earning rules

What does this do for me?

Earning rules define how customers collect points. You control the points-per-currency rate, rounding, minimum order value, and bonus point sources like signups, reviews, social shares, and birthdays.

1. Open Points Rules

  1. In the app sidebar, select Points Rules.
  2. The page shows the points-per-currency configuration, earning rules list, and related sub-pages (Earning Rules, Achievements, Missions, VIP Tiers, Memberships).

2. Configure the earn rate

  1. Under Points Configuration, set the Points per currency unit — how many points customers earn per 1 unit of store currency.
  2. Choose the Rounding strategy: Floor, Round, or Ceil.
  3. Set a Minimum order value — orders below this value earn no points.
  4. Toggle Exclude shipping and Exclude taxes to control what counts toward the earn calculation.

3. Set up action-based earning rules

  1. Under Earning Rules, select Create rule.
  2. Choose the event type (e.g., account creation, newsletter signup, birthday, product review, social share).
  3. Set the points value and any cooldown period or max-awards-per-customer limit.
  4. Select Save.

4. Configure bonus point sources

In the app, open Points Rules and scroll to Bonus Actions. Set:
  • Signup bonus — points awarded when a customer joins the loyalty program.
  • Points per review — points for submitting a product review.
  • Birthday points — points awarded on the customer’s birthday.
  • Social share points — points for sharing on social media.

5. Save and test

Select Save at the top of the page. Open your storefront and place a test order to confirm points are awarded at the configured rate.
