Global settings

Global settings are your overall settings for your store and the program itself. Store details If you need to change your store name, URL, currency or timezone, language you’ll find it here. Customer notifications Unless you disable email notifications, Appy Stamp will automatically email your customers to update them on the status of their rewards whenever they change (when points are earned or redeemed, for example). In this section, you can set the name you want these emails to come from and email address from which you’d like them to be sent. Bear in mind that customers may reply to this email address so you may want to direct them towards an inbox that is regularly checked. To learn more about Sending emails with your domain click here Billing details Shopify handles the billing automatically when you install our app but if we ever need to contact you about payment or your account, this is the email to which we’ll send information to. Order settings In Customer Reward Status and Customer Cancelled Status you can control the timing of when your customers will receive their stamps for an order or when their stamps refunded. In our example, customers will receive stamps then their order status moves to ‘paid’ and lose any earned stamps associated with returned orders when the status changes to ‘refunded’ or ‘voided’. If you choose, Appy Stamp also supports the Shopify POS program for selling items in person, and that can be configured in Shopify Channels. You can read more about Shopify POS here. Reward Total Parts allows you to customise how much of a customer’s total on each order will count towards the earning of stamps. This is only applicable when you are giving variable stamps as a reward i.e 1 stamp for every $5 spent. Subtotal will be ticked by default, but you can also include the price of taxes, shipping and even earned discount codes towards the stamps your customers will receive. Cancelled status logic If you choose to have multiple ways to refund stamps, we will only refund a particular order once. If you select party refunded and refund the order twice i.e. one product after the other then we will only apply the first refund automatically. The second refunded part, you will have to manually deduct. The logic also differs if you are using variable order rewards or fixed. Fixed Order Rewards When an order has a fixed amount of stamps, regardless of the amount the customer spent. We will remove/refund all stamps from that order if they meet one of the selected cancelled statuses you select. Variable Order Rewards If you reward customers based on the amount they order, then we will calculate the amount refunded from the order and remove that from the total order. This will not include any additional parts if you only partly refund an order, so shipping costs, taxes etc will only be returned if the entire order is refunded.

Stamp Expiry

Stamp Expiry is where you can set an expiry term to customers stamps so once the certain time limit has been reached the customers lose their stamps. This can help drive urgency so they use their stamps more regularly. Enabling stamp expiry To activate this feature, go to Stamp Program > Stamp Expiry and click Activate and then click Save Configuring your stamp expiry Once active, you can set up how you want to expiry to work and if you wish to remind customers that their stamps are soon to be lost. Expiration period This is where you can set how long the stamps last before expiring (1 year is recommended to give customers enough time to use the stamps) Expiry type This is where you chose how the stamps expire. Rolling Expiry This is where the stamps expiry period resets whenever a customer interacts with the loyalty program. Whether it is spending their balance or being awarded stamps for purchasing from your store. For example if you have a rolling expiry set for 6 months and a customer purchases a product and is rewarded stamps. They then come back to the store a month later and purchase something else. The original stamps expiry period will be reset to 6 months later from that new purchase date. The same rule applies when they spend as well, if they’ve not purchased anything but they decide to redeem a reward. This action will push their expiry date back 6 months. Giving them more time to use that code but also their other balance. Fixed Expiry This is where the expiration period is fixed from the moment of the stamps being awarded and cannot be altered. Customers will lose their unused stamps on a set date per stamp activity from when it was generated based on the timeframe you’ve selected. Expiry of this type works in a different way, as each set of activities can have their own expiry and we will work out the remaining balance using our internal logic, to see if any was spent or leftover from each activity. This enables us to correctly calculate what percentage of each activities stamps awarded should be expired when that date comes around. Important: Due to the nature of these expiries, we don’t sent reminder emails for this at the moment. Expiry notification email Having this selected will automatically send out to customers a reminder email that their stamps are about to expire. It’s a great way to have a subtle marketing push to customers giving them a soft reminder about your store, your loyalty, the rewards program and that they have a stamps balance to use up. Pros and cons of fixed/rolling expiry option Fixed expiry Pro 1. Incentivises urgency for customers to come back to spend the rewards before the expiry date. 2. Marketing opportunities – expiring points opens up possibilities for communication. Bringing to their attention that their stamps will be expiring and its a great chance for them to spend their stamps and bring in another order for your store. Cons 1. Customers might feel rushed and pressured, especially if the expiry date is set too short. 2. Currently no supported for our built in reminder emails. It is coming soon. Rolling expiry Pro 1. Customers will appreciate the ability to extend their stamps till a later period, especially if they have built up a lot of stamps. 2. It gives them a higher chance to use the stamps down the road if they are saving for a larger reward. 3. It incentivises customers to become repeat purchasers knowing their expiry date can be extended by purchasing more items. Cons 1. Stamps can keep going forever if a customer purchases often enough, allowing them to stockpile them. 2. Less urgency than fixed expiry, because all stamps are treated as one expiry.
