When you create a reward from blank, Nudj asks you to pick one of five types. The type is locked once the reward is created, and it decides which setup steps you’ll see.
Reward type picker: Regular Reward, Giveaway Reward, Badge, XP Boost, Points Boost

The five reward types you can start from.

​
The five types

Regular Reward

A first-come-first-serve reward members claim directly - discount codes, merch, digital downloads. The everyday reward. See Creating Rewards.

Giveaway Reward

A prize draw. Members earn entries over a window; you draw winners randomly or by hand at the draw date. See Giveaways.

Badge

A collectible emblem earned once per member - pure recognition, nothing to redeem. See Badges.

XP Boost

An effect that multiplies the XP a member earns for a set duration. Activates automatically when earned, then multiplies their next earns until it expires.

Points Boost

An effect that multiplies the points a member earns for a set duration. Activates automatically when earned, then multiplies their next earns until it expires.
Badge, XP Boost, and Points Boost skip most of the setup. They have nothing to supply, no redemption format, and nothing to fulfil, so their wizard drops the Supply, Redemption, and Fulfillment Details steps (XP/Points Boosts add a Boost Config step instead).

​
Two dimensions underneath

A Regular or Giveaway reward is defined by two independent choices.

​
Allocation - what the member gets

Supply step showing Unlimited Total Supply and Limited Per User

The Supply step of an asset reward: total supply and per-user caps.

Assets

An owned item with a finite (or unlimited) supply - the member holds it in their wallet and redeems it. Regular Rewards are assets.

Entries

Lottery tickets for a giveaway - the member accumulates them and the reward resolves at the draw. Giveaway Rewards are entries.

​
Redemption format - how they claim it

Redemption step in Code-Based Redemption mode showing the four code formats

Code-based redemption: Text Code, Link, Barcode, or QR Code, shared or per-user.

Set on the Redemption step for asset rewards:
  • Text message - a rich-text message shown when they claim.
  • Code - a Text Code, Link, Barcode, or QR Code, either one shared code or a unique code per member.
  • Shopify discount - for communities connected to a Shopify store.
Badges and boosts have no redemption format - they resolve automatically.

​
Points & XP are currencies, not reward types

Members earn points (spendable) and XP (progression) by completing challenges and actions - you set those amounts on the challenge, not as a separate reward. What lives in the reward catalogue are the two boost rewards that temporarily amplify them:

​
Placement & distribution (not types)

These are options on a reward or ways to hand it out - not separate types:
  • Featured and Spotlight - toggles on the Basic Information step that surface a reward more prominently. (Spotlight only appears on manually-claimed rewards - badges and boosts hide it.)
  • Shop - list a reward in the Reward Store so members can buy it with points.
  • Gifting and giveaway draws - ways to distribute a reward. See Gift Rewards.
  • Cross-community scope - the additionalCommunityIds field (in Advanced Settings) makes one reward redeemable across several communities in your org.
