How reward codes work

What a reward code is: a fixed-amount discount for one customer, used once.

Last reviewed

When a customer redeems a reward, EarnKit creates a discount code just for them.

What a reward code is

  • A fixed amount off, in your store’s currency, matching the reward the customer redeemed.
  • Specific to that customer: nobody else can use it.
  • Usable once.
  • No expiration date: once issued, a code stays valid until it’s used.
  • No minimum order amount required.
  • Applies to every item in the order.

How it combines with other discounts

A reward code combines with order-level and product-level discounts, so a customer can use it alongside a sale or another promotion. It doesn’t combine with shipping discounts.

Good to know

  • The code appears in your Shopify admin under Discounts, titled with the reward amount and currency, so you can find it if you need to.
  • If a customer doesn’t have enough points, EarnKit refuses the redemption and no code is created.
  • A reward code takes a short time to appear after a customer redeems; see How customers redeem points.
