Configuring Earn & Burn Settings

Once enabled, you can configure the following settings:

  • Exchange Rate – Defines how many points are needed to get one unit of local currency discount (e.g., if set to 5, then 5 points = 1 EUR/USD/GBP discount).
  • Steps – Defines the increment step in which points can be redeemed (e.g., 1, 10, 100).
  • Maximum Fixed Discount – Sets the maximum amount that can be discounted in local currency (e.g., 30 EUR, 50 USD).
  • Maximum Percentage Discount – Defines the maximum percentage of the order total that can be discounted.

How Rules Are Applied

If multiple constraints apply, TRIFFT automatically enforces the strictest limit:

  • If a customer has 200 points but can only apply a 30 EUR discount or a 50% discount, the system calculates the maximum possible discount allowed and ensures member cannot apply higher discount.
