Settings

  1. Navigate to VIP -> Settings

  2. Here you can enable your program by clicking on the Enable button;

  3. Choose the criteria for a customer to enter a given tier - Lootly offers you 2 ways to set the criteria for entering a tier in your program: Amount spent and Points Earned. This means, you can set the tier entry criteria based on the amount of money spent in the defined rolling period or the amount of points earned during this period.

  4. Choose the Earning Rolling Period - the earning rolling period allows you to define the earning period for which a customer can maintain their tier status. You can choose from 1 month to 2 years or No Earning Period which means your customers don’t lose their tier membership if they’re not earning points or spending money at your store.

Here’s an example of how the earning rolling period applies to maintaining tier membership:

  • Your customer spent $1500 on 12/01/2020 and entered your Gold VIP Tier.

  • The earning rolling period is set to 1 year.

  • This means this customer has to spend that same amount throughout the year to ensure it renews for the next year. So by 12/01/2021 the customer needs to have spent X amount as a Gold VIP customer to ensure the tier status renews to another year.

  • This will show in Tiers, right below the tier name, for example: “1500 points earned in the last 365 days”

5. Once you set up the settings, Save your changes:
