This feature is only available for Shopify and WordPress only, where you can add extra configurations to let your players create different types of coupons.

Types of redeemable coupons

At Gameball we currently offer the following customizable types of redemption in addition to the default redemption settings.

  • Flat Rate discount: By default, once you set an equivalent value for points, a flat rate discount could be applied by players.

  • Percentage Discount: Players can exchange a defined amount of points for a fixed percentage discount coupon; for example, you can make players configure a 10% discount coupon for 1000 points.

  • Fixed Amount: Players can exchange number of points for a fixed discount, for example, you can offer a $15 coupon in exchange for 750 points. This does not have to follow the monetary value you have previously given to points for the flat-rate discounts.

  • Free Shipping: Give your players the ability to convert a specific amount of points to a free shipping coupon.

  • Free Product: Give your players the ability to convert a specific amount of points to get a specific product. You can also specify a variant of a certain product to be exclusively subjected to redemption in the form of a coupon.

  • POS Fixed Amount Coupon (Shopify): Players making purchases in-store can now exchange their points with a fixed amount. Ex. 2000 points for USD20 discount coupon.

  • POS percentage Coupon (Shopify): Players making purchases in-store can now exchange their points with a percentage discount coupon. Ex. 2000 points for 20% discount coupon.

❗️❗️ Important note: you can create redemption rules with the fixed amount and percentage-based discounts that are applicable to specific categories/collections only. Learn more

❗️❗️ Important Note: if you have not yet synced Gameball with your couponing engine, you will need to do that through these steps.

How to create "Giveaways" vouchers

If you want to let your players get a free product without exchanging it with some of their points, here is what you need to do:

  1. Repeat the same steps of creating an extra redemption rule.

  2. When you get to the "Equivalent Points" step, type down zero (0).

  3. Proceed with the rest of the configuration steps.

This way when a player opens the redemption section on the widget, they will see that there are coupons they can redeem for free (without having to exchange points for them.)

❗️Note: Giveaway vouchers are only applicable to "Free Product" and "Free Shipping" redemption rules.

How to create redemption rules for specific collections/categories only?

  • On your Gameball Admin Dashboard, from the left bar, click Ways to Redeem

  • Click Add ways to redeem beside the Ways to Redeem section.

  • Write down the value of the new coupon.

  • If you are creating a fixed amount or percentage-based discount, scroll down to choose Specific Collection/s. Learn more

  • Choose the collections you want this redemption rule to be exclusively for, and click Save.

How do players learn about this?

The new extra settings appear in the widget under the redemption tab along with the default rule.

❗️Note: Your players will be able to view the “Redeem Now” button only when they have gained points (points balance is above zero).
