# Overview

> Run a points-based loyalty programme to reward your best customers

Rewards is a points-based loyalty programme. Customers earn points when they spend, climb through tiers as they earn, and can redeem their points for a discount at checkout. You decide how points are earned, what they are worth, and which perks each tier unlocks.

### Enabling rewards

Turn the programme on in **Settings > Rewards**. Once enabled, a Rewards area appears in the main navigation, and rewards information starts to appear on customer profiles.

You can optionally make the programme **subscribers only**. When you do, non-subscribers see a message inviting them to join, along with a button whose text you set.

### How it works

* Customers **earn points** on every qualifying order, based on the rate you set. You choose the minimum spend needed to earn, and whether shipping, discounts and tax count towards the total. See [Earning & Redemption](/rewards/earning-and-redemption).
* As their points build up, customers move through your **tiers**. Each tier has a points threshold and a set of perks. See [Tiers & Perks](/rewards/tiers-and-perks).
* Customers can **redeem points** for money off at checkout, at a rate you set per currency. See [Earning & Redemption](/rewards/earning-and-redemption).

### Adjusting a customer

You can adjust an individual customer's standing from the **Rewards** tab on their profile: change their points balance or set their tier directly. See [Customer details](/customers/details).

### Rewards Insights

The Rewards report helps you measure the programme's impact:

* Number of **members**
* Points **earned**, **redeemed** and **outstanding**
* **Redemption rate**
* Member versus non-member **average order value**, and the **AOV lift** between them
* **Tier distribution**, and tier **upgrades and downgrades**

See [Insights](/insights/overview) for more.
