Use a spend threshold to add a minimum spend condition to your reward.

🔓 Advanced reward options are unlocked on the Marsello Pro Plan.

✨ A spend threshold is the total amount of an order which must be met in order to redeem a reward, for example:

$10 off orders over $100
20% off orders over $200

Specifying a spend threshold gives you more control over when your customers can use their reward. It also encourages the customer to spend more when redeeming a reward.

📝 Note: This reward type is recommended to be online only. If you want to have it available in-store as well, it requires strict staff training to ensure the sale is over the spend threshold.

How it works - your customers' experience

When a customer redeems a reward with a spend threshold, they will need to ensure their order total meets or exceeds the spend threshold.
If the order total does not meet or exceed the threshold, they will receive an error message when trying to apply their discount code.
