# Points for Spend (Coming Soon)

> Automatically awarding loyalty points based on how much a shopper spends is in development and not yet live. Here is what it will do and what works today.

<Warning>
  **Points for Spend is not live yet.** Shoppers do **not** currently earn points automatically based on their order value. Don't promise spend-based earning to your customers until it's released. This page will be updated when it ships.
</Warning>

## What Points for Spend will do

Points for Spend will let shoppers earn loyalty points automatically in proportion to what they spend — place an order, earn points for the value of that order, no manual action needed. It's a standard loyalty mechanic and it's on the roadmap, but it isn't switched on in production today.

## Why it's held back

Spend-based earning depends on order and checkout events flowing from Shopify into Nudj in real time. That event pipeline is temporarily paused while we resolve its running costs. Until it's re-enabled, any "earn points when you spend" behaviour won't fire — so we've kept it out of the live programme rather than advertise something that doesn't work yet.

## What works today instead

You can run a complete loyalty programme right now using the mechanics that are live:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Achievements" icon="trophy" href="/shopify/loyalty-program#achievements">
    Award points for specific actions — first purchase, review submitted, social follow, and more — from the template library.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Points multipliers" icon="fire" href="/shopify/loyalty-program#promotions--multipliers">
    Run time-windowed promotions that boost points on any earning action during a sale.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Referrals" icon="users" href="/shopify/loyalty-program#referrals">
    Reward customers for bringing in friends who convert.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Rewards" icon="gift" href="/shopify/loyalty-program#rewards">
    Let shoppers redeem points for discounts and free products from your catalog.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Shoppers can already **redeem** points for a discount at checkout today — see [Checkout & customer accounts](/shopify/checkout-and-accounts#redeem-points-at-checkout). What's not live yet is *earning* points from the amount spent.
