RXDecision brief

Define the purchase link before selecting the card

A purchase-linked reward card program ties eligibility to a defined Shopify order event, creating a direct connection between the promotional promise and commerce data.

01

What this choice changes

The strength of the structure is measurability. Its risk is ambiguity around qualification, order changes, cancellations, partial returns, timing, customer identity, and duplicate claims. The card format should be chosen only after those eligibility decisions are documented.
