Promotion types
The promotion type defines the mechanism by which a campaign amplifies the benefits participants earn. All promotion types act on top of the program's standard earning rules -- they never replace or modify the base configuration.
Spraed currently offers two implemented promotion types and one in development:
| Type | Status | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Booster | Available | Multiplies the result of the earning rule by a configured factor |
| Extra Fixed Reward | Available | Adds a flat fixed benefit to every qualifying transaction |
| Item Scoped Reward | Coming soon | Adds a flat fixed benefit per unit of a specific product purchased |
You select the promotion type when configuring a new promotion. The type cannot be changed after the promotion has been activated.
How the calculation works
Regardless of promotion type, the calculation always follows this sequence:
- The transaction amount is processed against the program's earning rules to produce the base benefit.
- The promotion type's mechanism is applied on top of the base benefit to produce the promotional benefit.
- The participant's account is credited with the sum of both.
This means even the smallest transaction always earns at least the standard benefit defined by the earning rules. The promotion only ever adds to that amount.
