Store Types: Credit-Based (points) vs. Gift-Based

Our platform offers two types of store setups for admins to reward their users: Credit-Based Stores (for Snappy customers - points) and Gift-Based Stores. Each store type offers unique ways to reward users, tailored to different business needs. Here's a breakdown of how each works:

1. Credit-Based Stores

In a Credit-Based Store, admins reward users with credits (points). These credits (points) are added to the users' wallets, and they can use them to make purchases within the store.

• Spending Credits (points): Users can shop for items up to the total amount of credits (points) in their wallet.
• Top-Up Option: If a user wants to purchase something that costs more than their available credits, they can top up their wallet using their personal credit card—provided this feature is activated.
• Flexibility: This store type offers flexibility in spending, allowing users to combine credits (points) and personal funds for their purchases.

2. Gift-Based Stores

In a Gift-Based Store, admins reward users with gifts instead of credits. Each gift corresponds to one item in the store.

• Redeeming Gifts: Users can purchase items up to the number of gifts in their wallet. Unlike credit-based stores, they cannot top up with a personal credit card.
• One Gift, One Item: Each gift is worth exactly one item, regardless of its price. Prices are not visible to users, making the shopping experience focused on the value of the gifts themselves.
• Simplicity: This store type offers a straightforward and uniform reward experience, ideal for businesses that want to simplify their reward system.

Once you launch your store with either a credit-based (points) or gift-based model, the store type cannot be changed. We recommend considering which model best aligns with your business goals before launching your store.

To set your store type go to your admin dashboard select the "Customize" tab -> click on "Advanced settings" -> choose the option "Gift store".
