What are conditional tiers?

Conditional Tiers are an exclusive type of loyalty tier that can only be accessed by customers who have a specific tag within Shopify. 

You can design this tier so special customers who are tagged can get exclusive access to rewards and/or are given more/less points for certain activities, for example, wholesalers would earn less points for purchases and would need more points for rewards.

Please note, the customer tag associated with your conditional tier should be managed solely by your team in Shopify.


Why would I want to create a conditional tier?

Conditional Tiers are a great way to segment your customers based on pre-existing information in your Shopify account. If you want a certain cohort of customers to get a different version, or a different interaction with the loyalty program, this is how you could achieve it.
For example, if you want to show Wholesalers different rewards, or modify how many points they would earn for purchasing, you could seperate them into a conditional tier and adjust the rule/reward values.
If you have VIP customers you want to ensure never drop down a tier, and remain a VIP in your program, you can give them a tag that would add them to your conditional tier.

Conditional Tiers can also be hidden, which means they will not show for any customers that are not in the tier themselves. This helps keep your exclusive tiers more exclusive, and customers that don't exactly fit the mould of the rest of your site, from knowing what else is currently in your program.
You will need to let us know if you would like a Conditional Tier to be hidden, you can get in contact with us at support@loyaltylion.com.
