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 types A first-come-first-serve reward members claim directly - discount codes, merch, digital downloads. The everyday reward. See [Creating Rewards](/admin-guide/rewards/creating-regular-rewards). A prize draw. Members earn **entries** over a window; you draw winners randomly or by hand at the draw date. See [Giveaways](/admin-guide/rewards/sweepstakes-giveaways). A collectible emblem earned once per member - pure recognition, nothing to redeem. See [Badges](/admin-guide/rewards/badges). 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. 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 An **owned** item with a finite (or unlimited) supply - the member holds it in their wallet and redeems it. Regular Rewards are assets. **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 Set on the [Redemption](/admin-guide/rewards/creating-regular-rewards#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: | Currency | What it does | How to hand it out | How to amplify it | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------- | | **Points** | Spendable at the [Shop](/admin-guide/rewards/shop-integration) | Challenge/action rewards | **Points Boost** reward | | **XP** | Progression through levels | Challenge/action rewards | **XP Boost** reward | *** ## 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](/admin-guide/rewards/creating-regular-rewards#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](/admin-guide/rewards/shop-integration) so members can buy it with points. * **Gifting** and **giveaway draws** - ways to *distribute* a reward. See [Gift Rewards](/admin-guide/rewards/reward-gifting). * **Cross-community scope** - the `additionalCommunityIds` field (in [Advanced Settings](/admin-guide/rewards/advanced-features#additional-communities)) makes one reward redeemable across several communities in your org. *** ## When to use which | Goal | Pick | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Hand out discount codes | **Regular Reward** with a code list | | Give away a big prize | **Giveaway Reward** with a draw date | | Celebrate a milestone visibly | **Badge** | | Run a double-XP weekend | **XP Boost** | | Run a double-points promo | **Points Boost** | | Let members buy a reward with points | Any asset reward, listed in the [Reward Store](/admin-guide/rewards/shop-integration) | *** ## Next steps The step-by-step studio walkthrough.
