How are existing customers placed into VIP tiers? (Essential Loyalty app)
When you turn on VIP tiers, customers who already have a history with your store are placed into tiers based on that history. They do not start from zero.
The app uses the entry method you chose in Program → Points → VIP tiers:
- Points earned: points the customer has earned.
- Points spent: points the customer has spent.
- Orders placed / money spent: total spend from past orders, after refunds.
- Lifetime: the customer's full history. Imported lifetime points are used if there is no activity history.
Good to know
- A program start date or a rolling window limits which past activity counts.
- Customers are placed into tiers when the app recalculates them. This happens after a points change, or when the customer's data is resynced.
- Imported VIP tier values are used as they are.
