Tier Program - Part 1 (Ways To Earn)

Tiered/VIP Rewards Configuration




Introduction


Welcome to the Tiered Rewards Configuration Guide! 🌟

Tiered rewards offer a VIP-style experience by organizing customers into levels based on activity, loyalty, or purchase history. Each tier provides special benefits and reward multipliers to motivate customers to advance and stay engaged with your brand.

This guide will show you how to set up tiers, configure expirations, define advancement criteria, add bonuses, and preview the customer view on the front end.

Let’s dive in and start building your VIP program!


Step 1 - Access Features



Step 2 - Open the Tier Program



Step 3 - Enable & Configure



Step 4 - View Tier Expiry Settings



Step 5 - Set Tier Expiry Duration


Choose the expiry period for your tiers:

No expiry, or

2 to 16 months



Step 6 - Understand Tier Expiry Logic


If a customer enters Tier X today and the expiry is set to 12 months, they will automatically drop to the previous tier after one year unless they re-qualify. Proceed to Tier Setting.

Basing advancement on:

• Total orders

• Number of referrals

• Custom tags



Step 11 - Set Spend Thresholds & Bonus Factor


Example:

• Average Order Value = ₹1000

• Set eligibility to ₹1500 LTV

• Define the Bonus Factor, which multiplies points earned at this tie.



Step 12 - Understand the Bonus Factor



Step 13 - Configure Additional Bonuses


After creating the tier, click into it to add extra perks such as:

• Referral bonuses



Step 14 - Create Customer Tags


Use the Nectar dashboard to create tags based on:

• RFM

• Order frequency

• Custom filters



Step 15 - Apply Conditional Triggers



Step 16 - Configure Birthday Bonus



Step 17 - Configure Tier Upgrade Rewards


Set up rewards for when customers move from one tier to another (e.g., Tier X → Tier Y).



Step 18 - Create a New Tier Trigger




Step 19 - Add Trigger Name & Title



Step 20 - Set Tier Benefits and Finalize


In the Tier Benefit section, configure what customers will see on the widget and rewards page — e.g., “Earn 20% extra coins at this tier.”



Step 21 - Repeat for Additional Tiers



Step 22 - View Newly Created Tiers



Step 23 - Review Tier Criteria


Check LTV requirements and multipliers — e.g.,

• Silver: ₹2,500 LTV with 1.5× multiplier

• Gold: ₹5,000 LTV with 1.8× multiplier



Step 24 - Configure Bonus Rules


Set bonus rules such as:

• Birthday bonuses

• Referral bonuses

• Order bonus multipliers



Step 25 - Preview Configuration


Preview how the configuration will appear to the customer and how they can navigate and understand the rewards. Access the front-end store. For instance, a dummy store with 500 points.

Click on the widget to view the bronze level upgrade path. The widget displays the next attainable level and its description.

Customers can track their progress and determine the additional effort required to reach the next level.





Step 26 - Explore VIP Program Details


The rewards page will show:

• Current tier

• Tier benefits

• VIP program structure



Step 27 - Completion & Next Steps
