Program design
Define the commerce rule before publishing the offer.
The merchant objective, qualifying purchase, calculation, refund treatment and virtual card terms should be clear to each customer.
Budgets and currencies
Assign funding, caps, eligible order currencies, accounting currency, card availability, and exchange treatment for each approved store or brand.
Cross-brand rules
Document whether customer status or eligible activity can carry across brands, which identity signals may be used, and how consent and program terms apply.
Consolidated reporting
Preserve store-level order and ledger records while defining the group view for funding, calculated rebates, issued cards, refunds, reversals, and outstanding value.
Lifecycle
Move from qualifying purchase to issued virtual card.
- 01
Approve each store connection
The group opens a Shopify account, identifies participating stores and entities, completes required verification, and receives capabilities in approved stages.
- 02
Apply store-specific rules
Synchronized Shopify events are evaluated under the funding, eligibility, formula, currency, cap, fulfillment, and refund rules assigned to their store or brand.
- 03
Calculate and attribute
Qualifying net purchase activity generates the approved rebate amount, which is attributed to the correct customer, store, brand, funder, and budget.
- 04
Issue locally, report across the group
Approved value is issued on a virtual card where available, with store-level records feeding authorized consolidated reporting and reconciliation.
Program outcomes
A clearer basis for customer value and merchant performance.
Local program control
Each approved store can retain its own offer rules, budget, currency, refund treatment, and operational accountability.
Consistent group governance
Shared approval, access, data, and reconciliation standards can be applied without forcing every brand into the same commercial formula.
Comparable reporting
Authorized teams can review funded value, qualifying orders, issued rebates, reversals, and balances by store, brand, program, and period.
Common questions
Before you begin.
01Can each Shopify store use different rules?
Yes. Participating stores can have separate eligible products, customer groups, formulas, currencies, budgets, caps, validation windows, and refund policies after review and approval.
02Can customers earn across more than one brand?
Only when the program terms, customer identity model, permissions, data use, funding allocation, and applicable provider rules support approved cross-brand activity.
03How are non-Shopify stores handled?
Non-Shopify platforms are evaluated separately for data quality, authorization, event coverage, refunds, currency, and operational fit. They are not automatically available through Shopify account registration.
