With Gameball’s potential points display, customers can instantly see the rewards they’ll earn for their cart items before completing their purchase. This engaging feature highlights the value of each purchase, motivating customers to check out and start earning points.

Benefits:

  • Increase average order value: Customers are more likely to add additional items to their cart when they see the direct rewards tied to each product, leading to increased spending.

  • Reduce cart abandonment: motivate customers to complete the purchase by showing the reward they will get by completing their purchase.

Prerequisites

  1. Updated Shopify Theme

    • Your theme must support app blocks. Without this, the Gameball block will not be visible in the editor. Learn more.

    • Select App Embeds from the left menu, search for "Gameball," and toggle it on.

  3. Activate the " Earn Points" module:

    • In the Gameball dashboard, navigate to programs >> earn points, then activate the module.

Logged-In vs. Guest (Not-Logged-In) Customers

  • Guest Customers: If the customer isn’t logged in, the block will show the potential points they can earn based on default "earn points" rules, ignoring any custom order reward per tier.

  • Logged-In Customers: For logged-in customers, the block displays points based on any customized reward rules per collection, merchant, or level, giving a tailored view of rewards.

  • The customer is excluded from the rewards program.

  • The Gameball program is deactivated.

  • The product offers 0 points.

  • The product is excluded from the "Earn Points" rules.

  • Your account is on a plan that doesn’t support this feature.
