## Create Earning Rules
On the **Dashboard** click **Marketing** > **Loyalty**
Click **Rules** and navigate to **Earning Rules**.
Earning rules will determine how your customers earn loyalty points.
Click **Add Rule**
There is no limit to how many rules can be created.
If loyalty settings are configured to only allow for one earn rule per payment, the rule that generates the maximum amount of points will be applied. Otherwise, the patron will instead earn the sum of the points for each satisfied earn rule.
*Examples: 1x per Espresso, 1x per dollar spent, 2x per Latte*
The amount of Points to be earned for this rule.
* **Order Based**: Earnings are accrued for each order at a flat rate per order.
* **Product Based**: Earnings are accrued based on orders of specific products.
* **Category Based**: Earnings are accrued based on orders of products in specific categories.
* **Per Ticket**: This rule will apply a constant number of Points for each order satisfying this rule. **Points Amount** will be the amount of points earned
* **Per Dollar**: **Points Amount** will be a multiplier. If **Points Amount** is 2, patrons will earn 2x Points for each dollar spent that satisfies this rule.
*Click on each image to view*
**Order Based**: The rule is 1 point earned per dollar spent in an order with no limits.
**Category Based**: The rule is 1 point earned an any drink ordered from the Espresso menu category.
If loyalty settings are configured to only allow for one earn rule per payment, this rule would only apply to one drink ordered. If disabled, the patron will earn points on all Espresso menu items in the order.
**Product Based**: The rule is 1 point earned per Latte.
If loyalty settings are configured to only allow for one earn rule per payment, this rule would only apply to one latte in the order. If disabled, the patron will earn points on every latte in the order.
Enable your store's loyalty earning rules on certain days of the week and/or specific times of day. *i.e., Double Point Tuesday or Happy Hour earnings*
By default, all loyalty earning rules are active 24/7 unless recurrence settings are edited.
Create a new earning rule or click **Edit** next to your existing earning rule
Click the dropdown for **Recurrence Settings**
Select **Forever** keep this setting active indefinitely. Select **Date Range** to specify a start and end date for this earning rule.
Select which days of the week this rule will be active on during the set date range.
Select the date this rule will first be active. If **Date Range** was selected, select the end date of this earning rule.
Select the start and end time that this rule will be active on the specified days of the week you've select.
In the example above, this earning rule will be active every Monday starting on 11/20/25 with no end date.
Use the **Duplicate** function and recurrence settings to double, triple, etc. the amount of points a patron earns during certain days and times of the week, *i.e., Double Point Tuesday; earn triple points from 4-5PM everyday.*
The setting **Enable Multiple Earn Rules Per Payment** must be set to **Yes** in order for duplicate rules to apply both at once.
Enable this setting on the **Dashboard** under **Settings** > **Order System** > **Loyalty**
Set the recurrence times for this duplicate rule to be active. *In this example, this rule is active every day from 4-5PM.*
Click **Save** to add the new duplicate rule.
