Docs: https://docs.trophy.so/features/rewards ## FAQ ### How do rewards work in Trophy? A reward is awarded automatically when a user meets one of its triggers, like reaching a streak length or finishing first on a leaderboard. The reward then waits until the user redeems it in your app. Rewards can grant points on redemption or fulfill custom prizes through your own internal systems. ### What is the difference between rewards and points triggers? Points triggers add points to a user’s balance as soon as they fire. Rewards are only applied when they are redeemed, so users get a redemption step in your product, and they can grant things other than points with custom rewards. Use points triggers for automatic points and rewards when users should redeem something you own. ### Can I give rewards that aren’t points? Yes. Custom rewards do nothing inside Trophy apart from alerting your internal systems so you can fulfill discount codes, free subscription months, gift cards, or physical prizes. We'll be adding more built-in reward types soon. ### How do users redeem rewards in my app? Your app can show a “You earned a reward” message the moment a user earns one, and a list of every reward they still have to redeem. When they tap redeem, Trophy redeems the reward and either grants the points or alerts your internal systems to fulfill the prize. ### Can I limit who earns a reward and how often? Yes. Set a redemption limit to cap how many times each user can be awarded a reward, and add user attribute filters to the reward or to individual triggers to target specific cohorts like paid subscribers or a single country. ## Gamification software for modern product teams The only gamification platform built for the modern era.
