PROGRAM DESIGN / ELIGIBILITY

A purchase is not automatically a qualifying purchase

Eligibility rules describe the purchase and customer conditions attached to an incentive. They should be specific enough to apply consistently and clear enough to understand before buying.

Translate the objective into purchase conditions

A Shopify product-launch campaign may qualify purchases of named products during a campaign window. A repeat-purchase offer may also depend on the intended audience. Only include conditions that support the offer and can be explained coherently.

  • Identify the eligible products or collection.
  • State relevant customer and order conditions.
  • Give the qualifying purchase window.
  • Explain material exclusions and the treatment of order changes.

Explain outcomes without ambiguity

Order received, eligibility being assessed, and incentive approved mean different things. A shopper should know whether an outcome is final and where to ask for an explanation. Avoid promising that every paid order earns a card.

Keep the offer consistent over time

The team answering a later question needs to know which terms applied to the original purchase. Changing a Shopify collection or a campaign description should not leave earlier customers with an unexplained different promise.

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.
