Choosing the right reward type

Understand the two reward program types available on Worthify — visit-based and amount-based — and how to choose the one that best fits your business.

Overview

When setting up your rewards program on Worthify, the first big decision is how customers will earn points. You can choose a system based on visits or spending. Each model fits different types of businesses and customer habits.


Reward types explained

Visit-based

Customers earn points every time they visit, regardless of how much they spend.
Example: 1 visit = 1,000 points

Best for:

  • Cafes and coffee shops

  • Barbershops and salons

  • Market stalls or food trucks

Benefits:

  • Simple for customers to understand

  • Encourages frequent visits

  • Works well for flat-priced services or items


Amount-based

Customers earn points based on how much they spend during a visit.
Example: Every $10 spent = 1,000 points

Best for:

  • Boutiques and retail stores

  • Collectible or specialty shops

  • Businesses with variable pricing

Benefits:

  • Rewards high spenders more

  • More flexible for larger transactions

  • Aligns incentives with revenue


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.
