Here are some creative scenarios for using EliteCart's reward bar:
Two Shipping Levels
Assuming you offer Free Standard Shipping within the European Union (EU) with different thresholds set in customer's local currencies. For orders within Germany you even offer Free Express shipping over 200€.
You don't offer free shipping outside the EU.
To achieve this scenario, you can set up multiple shipping rewards based on different countries or regions using EliteCarts Shopify Market Settings:
Reward 1: Standard shipping for EU countries.
50€ threshold in store currency
400 DKK threshold for Danish customers
500 SEK threshold for Swedish customers
....
Show this reward only in EU countries
Reward 2: Express shipping for Germany only.
Set a 200€ threshold.
Show this reward only in Germany.
German customers will now see 2 rewards displayed, at 50€ and 200€. Danish customers would see one reward displayed at 400DKK only.
This allows you to offer tailored shipping incentives to customers in different markets.
Note that you must set up the actual shipping settings in the Shopify Admin. EliteCart's reward bar is only there to visualize these settings. More about international shipping scenarios here.
Combining Shipping and Discount Rewards
Offer a shipping reward for certain countries, while providing a discount reward for all customers:
Reward 1: Standard shipping for EU countries, based on a threshold in EUR (similar to above).
Reward 2: 5% off for orders over €100 for all countries. Note that automatic discounts are always set in your store currency and cannot be restricted by country (mirroring Shopify's settings).
Free Products with Regional Thresholds
Incentivize customers with a free product, but set different spend thresholds based on the market:
Reward 1: Product X as gift for orders over
$100 USD in the United States
$200 CAD in Canada
Different free products for different markets
Offer up to 3 different free products based on the customer's region:
Reward 1: Product X for orders over €100 in EU countries. Hide for other regions.
Reward 2: Product Y for orders over $200 in the US. Hide for other regions.
Reward 3: Product Z for orders over ¥15000 in Japan. Hide for other regions.
Set up each free product as a separate reward and then restrict visibility by market.
Tiered Free Gift Rewards
Offer increasingly valuable free gifts as customers reach higher spend thresholds:
Reward 1: Free gift A for orders over $50
Reward 2: Free gift B (higher value) for orders over $100
Reward 3: Free gift C (highest value) for orders over $200
This tiered approach incentivizes customers to add more to their cart to earn the premium gifts. Note that gifts will not replace each other. So a customer shopping for over $200 will get all three gifts.
Tiered Discount Rewards
Offer progressively higher discounts as customers add more to their cart:
Reward 1: 5% off orders over $50
Reward 2: 10% off orders over $100
Reward 3: 15% off orders over $200
Note: Unless you set automatic discounts to combine, the higher discount will automatically replace the lower one. So in this case, a customer with a $110 cart would only receive the 10% discount, not 5% + 10%.
This tiered discount structure encourages customers to spend more to unlock bigger savings. It's a powerful way to increase your average order value.
Hide Free Gifts for International Orders
Offering free gifts can get complicated with international orders due to customs and import regulations. To simplify things, you can hide free gift rewards for customers outside your domestic market:
Reward 1: Free gift for orders over $75 (hidden for non-US orders)
Reward 2: Free shipping for US orders over $50
Reward 3: Free shipping for international orders over $100
Use the Shopify Market settings in EliteCart to hide Reward 1 from customers outside the US and Canada. This way, your international customers still see appealing free shipping offers, while avoiding any potential customs issues with free gifts.
Donation Rewards
Partner with a charity and offer to make a donation when customers reach a spend threshold:
Reward 1: We'll donate $5 to Charity X for orders over $100
Simply set up a Shopify product with value $0. You can set the compare_at_price to $5 USD. Then choose this product as a gift. Mark the gift as "not physical", so it does not await fulfilment from your end.
