Managing card balance

Understanding balance vs. transaction amount

Card balance (points): Cashback points available for the customer to spend.

Transaction amount: Total monetary value of purchases, used to calculate tier progression.

These are separate but related: purchases increase transaction amount and earn points based on cashback percentage.

Adding points to balance

Award points for purchases, promotions, or corrections.

Step 1: Access current balance

  1. Locate the Current Balance section

  2. Click the + (plus) icon

Step 2: Enter point details

  • Value: Number of points to add (required)

  • Purchase amount: Optional; enter if points relate to a specific purchase

  • Comment: Optional note explaining the addition

  • Click Apply

What happens when you add points:

  • Current balance increases by the number entered

  • Points earned increases

  • LTV increases

  • Total visits increases by 1

Important: The purchase amount field does NOT affect the transaction amount. It's for reference only. To affect transaction amount, use the transaction amount adjustment feature instead.

Subtracting points from balance

Remove points when redeemed or to correct errors.

Step 1: Access current balance

  1. Locate the Current Balance section

  2. Click the - (minus) icon

Step 2: Enter deduction details

  • Value: Number of points to remove (required)

  • Purchase amount: Optional reference field

  • Comment: Optional note

  • Click Apply

What happens when you subtract points:

  • Current balance decreases by the number entered

  • Points redeemed increases

  • Total visits increases by 1


Managing transaction amount

Why track transaction amount separately

Transaction amount tracks total spending, which determines:

  • Progress toward higher cashback tiers

  • LTV calculations

  • Customer spending patterns

This is separate from points balance because you might need to adjust spending records without affecting available points.

Increasing transaction amount

Add to spending total for purchases or corrections.

Step 1: Access transaction amount

  1. Locate the Transaction Amount section

  2. Click the + (plus) icon

Step 2: Enter purchase details

  • Value: Amount to add (required)

  • Purchase amount: Optional; can duplicate the value or leave blank

  • Comment: Optional note

  • Click Apply

What happens when you increase transaction amount:

  • Transaction amount increases

  • LTV increases

  • Points earned increases (based on cashback percentage)

  • Current balance increases

  • Total visits increases by 1

Use cases:

  • Recording a purchase made outside the system

  • Correcting an under-recorded transaction

  • Awarding spending credit for special circumstances

Decreasing transaction amount

Remove from spending total for refunds or corrections.

Step 1: Access transaction amount

  1. Locate the Transaction Amount section

  2. Click the - (minus) icon

Step 2: Enter adjustment details

  • Value: Amount to subtract (required)

  • Purchase amount: Optional; can match value or leave blank

  • Comment: Optional note

  • Click Apply

What happens when you decrease transaction amount:

  • Transaction amount decreases

  • LTV decreases

  • Current balance decreases

  • Points redeemed increases

Use cases:

  • Processing a refund

  • Correcting an over-recorded transaction

  • Adjusting for returned items


Understanding cashback tiers

How tiers work

Cashback cards use progressive tiers where customers earn higher percentages as they spend more:

Example tier structure:

  • Bronze: 1% cashback on all purchases (starting tier)

  • Silver: 3% cashback after spending $500

  • Gold: 5% cashback after spending $1,000

Monitoring tier progression

Current tier: Shows in the Cashback field Current percentage: Shows in the Cashback Percentage field Progress to next tier: Shows in To the Next Cashback Level field

Tier advancement

Tiers advance automatically based on total Transaction Amount:

  • Spending accumulates across all purchases

  • When threshold is reached, customer moves to next tier

  • New cashback percentage applies to all future purchases

  • Previous points remain at old percentage

Example: Customer at Bronze (1%) spends $500 total → moves to Silver (3%) → all future purchases earn 3%


Managing card status

Viewing card status

The Card Status field shows whether the card is:

  • Installed: Active on the customer's device

  • Not Installed: Issued but not activated

  • Deleted: Removed from the system

Changing card status to deleted

Delete the card when you want to remove the customer entirely from your system.

Step 1: Access card status

  1. Locate the Status section in the profile

  2. Click the pencil icon next to the status

Step 2: Delete the card

  1. A Delete button appears

  2. Click Delete

  3. The card status changes to "Deleted"

Important: This removes the card from your system but does NOT remove it from the customer's phone. The customer must manually delete it themselves. However, the card will no longer function even if left on their device.

Why delete the card: You cannot delete a customer profile while their card status is "Installed." Changing the status to "Deleted" allows you to remove the customer from your database.


Managing card expiration

Viewing expiration date

The Card Expiration Date field shows when the card expires.

Modifying expiration date

Extend or adjust card expiration for specific customers.

Step 1: Access expiration settings

  1. Locate the Card Expiration Date section

Step 2: Select new date

  2. Select the new expiration date

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between points balance and transaction amount? Points balance is what customers can spend. Transaction amount is their total spending, which determines tier progression.

Do points from lower tiers get recalculated when customers advance? No, existing points remain at the percentage they were earned. Only new purchases earn at the new tier rate.

Can I manually move a customer to a higher tier? Yes, by increasing their transaction amount to meet the tier threshold.

What happens to points when a card expires? Typically, unused points expire with the card unless you extend the expiration date.

Why does adding points increase total visits? Each point adjustment (add or subtract) counts as a transaction/visit in the system.

Can customers see their progress to the next tier? Yes, their card displays current tier, cashback percentage, and progress toward the next level.

What if a customer returns a purchase after earning points? Subtract from transaction amount and remove the corresponding points from their balance.

Will deleting a card from the profile notify the customer? No, customers are not automatically notified. The card simply stops functioning.

Can I adjust only points without affecting transaction amount? Yes, use the balance adjustment (not transaction amount adjustment). The purchase amount field in balance adjustment is for reference only.

How do I handle a cashback redemption? Subtract points from the customer's balance when they redeem for purchases or rewards.
