How to choose the best type for your business
Ask yourself:
Are most of your transactions similar in value? → Visit-based
Do customers spend very different amounts? → Amount-based
Do you want to keep it as simple as possible? → Visit-based
Are you looking to incentivize bigger purchases? → Amount-based
You can always update your reward type later if your needs change.
