Why loyalty is the cheapest retention in Egypt
Ads win a first order, but without a reason to return you repay acquisition on every order. Loyalty turns the first order into a balance, a tier, and an upcoming reward: the customer sees points at checkout and returns to redeem. In Egyptian e-commerce built on COD and WhatsApp, a visible balance beats a blanket coupon. This guide covers setup on Vareons for a store selling online.
The formula: points, tiers, rewards
From /dashboard/loyalty-programs set pointsPerCurrency, minOrderAmount, pointValue, maxPointsPerOrder, and expiry, then create tiers with a minimum and multiplier (for example 1.5 for gold), then create rewards: a percentage or fixed discount, free shipping, or a gift with a set product. A checkout or both display location guarantees checkout visibility, and isAutoApply auto-apply lifts conversion.
Checkout: the redemption moment
At checkout the system reads the summary by email or phone and shows the balance and eligible rewards; picking one adds a loyaltyDiscount line to the total. Points are earned after the order above the minimum and deducted on redemption from the same CRM balance. The section hides when balance and rewards are zero — a signal that customer needs a first earn.
CRM and top consumers: who to follow
The customer profile shows the balance, tier, and both histories, while the top-consumers and redemption-orders tabs reveal repeat buyers. Follow them with WhatsApp or a tailored coupon instead of a store-wide discount. The Copilot assistant summarizes points and rewards and adds points under loyalty permissions with confirmation.
