Rewards Module is one of the core features of UpCart, that allows you to display a discount/reward progress bar within the cart drawer. Showing a reward tracker increases the likelihood the customer will spend more in order to reach the desired rewards, such as free shipping, a discount, or a gift item.
This is one of the three documents describing the Rewards Module settings.
General Settings
Overview
The reward bar is displayed at the top section of the cart drawer, and can display up to three rewards of different types at a time.
Please note that UpCart rewards do not actually provide the free shipping or discounts to the customers, it is there only for visual tracking purposes and is meant to represent your existing offers.
If you want to learn how to set up your rewards to be functional, please refer to our Rewards Settings document for more in-depth information.

Show rewards on empty cart
This checkmark option allows you to show or hide the rewards bar in the cart drawer when it does not have any products in it.
Bar Background and Foreground Colors
This section determines the colours used in the rewards bar. The Background Color represents the amount that is missing from achieving the reward, while the Foreground Color shows how much the customer has achieved so far.
Text after completing full rewards bar
Once the customer places enough items in the cart to fulfill all of the rewards, this text will appear above the rewards bar. You can style and format it by highlighting the sections of the text you want to edit, and then using the formatting buttons at the top of the text editor bubble:
Reward Basis
Determines whether the rewards bar should track Cart Total or Item Count.
Cart Total
Uses the total value of the cart to determine whether or not a customer should receive a reward. For example, you may offer a Free Shipping reward to customers who have at least $100 worth of items in their cart.
Item Count
Uses the total item count of the cart to determine whether or not a customer should receive a reward. For example, you may offer a Free Shipping reward to customers who have at least 5 items in their cart.
The selected logic applies for the full bar and cannot be attributed per each reward tier separately at this time.
Enable Use of Pre-Discounted Cart Total
Makes sure that the reward bar does not take discounts into consideration and won't react if a discount applied in the cart reduces the cart total. Very useful when you want to make sure that applied discounts do not prevent the customer from receiving their reward they would have reached without one.
Advanced Settings
