Tiers & Multipliers

Custom-named tiers with per-tier multipliers, thresholds and caps

Tiers reward your best customers with better earning. Everything about them is your choice: how many tiers, what they are called, what each one earns, and where each one begins.

How the Bonus Lands on a Purchase

  1. The platform works out the rule's base points for the purchase.
  2. It looks up the customer's tier — or the default tier if they have none — and applies the bonus.
  3. If the tier has an earning ceiling, the result is capped to it.
  4. Any cap is recorded transparently, keeping the math auditable.

No ceiling means no ceiling

Configure ceilings only where you want them — top tiers typically run without any.
