GLOSSARY

Shared terms make program decisions easier to audit

Define important words in the program brief so marketing, ecommerce, operations, providers, support, and analysts do not apply different meanings to the same event.

Eligibility language

Eligible purchase means a Shopify order that meets the published campaign conditions. Qualification is the documented decision that those conditions are satisfied. Pending means the program does not yet have the required final information.

Customer journey language

Notification is a message about program status or next steps. Delivery is the program-defined event that makes approved value available to the intended recipient. Support case is a recorded request requiring information or resolution.

Measurement language

Participation describes movement through a defined program stage. Redemption or use should follow the terminology and evidence available from the approved program. Incremental lift estimates change attributable behavior relative to a credible counterfactual.

MAKE THE BRIEF SPECIFIC

Plan the Shopify incentive around a real customer action.

Bring the commercial objective, eligible purchase, customer promise, and unresolved operating questions. Start with the channel that fits your next step.
