  • Send personalized push notifications

  • Access customer feedback

Understanding discount cards

How discount cards work

Discount cards provide instant percentage-based savings on purchases. As customers spend more, they advance through tiers and unlock higher discount percentages.

Key characteristics:

  • Instant discounts applied at purchase

  • Progressive tiers with increasing percentages

  • Spending-based tier advancement

  • Automatic discount calculation

  • No points to redeem—savings are immediate

Example tier structure:

  • Bronze: 5% discount (starting tier)

  • Silver: 10% discount after $500 total spent

  • Gold: 15% discount after $1,000 total spent

Customer journey: Customer starts at Bronze (5% off). After spending $500 total across multiple visits, they move to Silver (10% off). All future purchases earn 10% discount until they reach Gold at $1,000.

Managing transaction amounts

Understanding transaction tracking

Transaction amounts determine both:

  • Tier progression: Total spending moves customers to higher tiers

  • Discount calculation: System automatically calculates discount based on tier percentage

Adding transaction amounts

Record purchases to track spending and apply discounts.

Step 1: Access transaction amount

  1. Locate the transaction amount section in the profile

  2. Click the + (plus) icon

Step 2: Enter transaction details A popup appears with two fields:

Value: Enter the same figure as the Purchase Amount. The system uses this to calculate the exact discount value based on the customer's current tier.

Example:

  • Customer at Bronze tier (1% discount)

  • You enter: $50

  • System calculates: $0.50 discount (1% of $50)

  • Customer pays: $49.50

Purchase Amount: Enter the monetary value of the purchase—the actual transaction amount before discount.

Step 3: Apply changes Click Apply to save the transaction.

What happens:

  • Total spending increases by the amount entered

  • System calculates discount based on current tier percentage

  • Transaction appears as "discount amount" in history

  • Customer may advance to next tier if threshold is reached

  • LTV increases

Important: Both Value and Purchase Amount should typically be the same figure—the pre-discount transaction amount.

Subtracting transaction amounts

Remove transaction amounts for refunds or corrections.

Step 1: Access transaction amount

  1. Locate the transaction amount section

  2. Click the - (minus) icon

Step 2: Enter deduction details A popup appears with the same two fields:

Value: Enter the amount to subtract.

Purchase Amount: Enter the monetary value being refunded or corrected.

Step 3: Apply changes Click Apply to save the adjustment.

What happens:

  • Total spending decreases by the amount entered

  • Transaction appears as "refund of amount spent" in history

  • Customer may drop to lower tier if spending falls below threshold

  • LTV adjusts accordingly

Common use cases:

  • Processing refunds

  • Correcting entry errors

  • Adjusting for returned items

  • Handling disputes


Understanding tier progression

How tiers advance

Tiers are based on total cumulative spending:

  • Spending accumulates across all purchases

  • When threshold is reached, customer automatically moves to next tier

  • New discount percentage applies to all future purchases

  • Previous purchases remain at the discount they received

Monitoring tier progression

Current tier: Shows customer's level Current percentage: Shows discount they receive Progress to next tier: Shows spending needed to advance

Example:

  • Customer at Bronze: 5% discount, $300 spent

  • Silver tier requires: $500 total spending

  • Progress: Needs $200 more to reach Silver

  • After next $200 in purchases: Moves to Silver (10% discount)

Tier advancement notification

When customers reach a new tier:

  • Profile updates automatically

  • New discount percentage activates

  • Customer sees updated tier on their card

  • Send push notification to celebrate advancement


Transaction history

Understanding the transaction log

Transaction history shows complete activity:

Transaction records include:

  • Purchase date and time

  • Transaction amount (pre-discount)

  • Discount percentage applied

  • Discount value calculated

  • Final amount paid

  • Running total of spending

  • Tier level at time of transaction

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Value and Purchase Amount? They should typically be the same—the pre-discount transaction amount. The system uses this to calculate the discount based on the customer's tier percentage.

Why enter the amount in both fields? Value determines tier progression tracking. Purchase Amount provides context for the transaction type. Best practice is to enter the same amount in both.

Do previous purchases get recalculated when customers advance tiers? No, previous purchases remain at the discount they received. Only future purchases get the new tier discount.

Can I manually move a customer to a higher tier? Yes, by adding transaction amounts to increase their total spending to meet the tier threshold.

What happens if spending drops below a tier threshold due to refunds? The customer drops back to the appropriate tier for their spending level. Future purchases receive the lower tier discount.

How is the discount calculated? System multiplies the purchase amount by the customer's current tier percentage. For example: $100 purchase × 5% = $5 discount.

Will customers be notified when they advance tiers? Their card updates automatically. Send a push notification to inform them of the advancement and new benefits.

Can I adjust the discount percentage for individual customers? Discount percentages are set at the card configuration level, not per customer. All customers at the same tier receive the same percentage.

What if I entered the wrong transaction amount? Subtract the incorrect amount using the minus button, then add the
