Clan reward system

Begriffserläuterung

So funktioniert's

The clan reward system gives you the opportunity to incentivize users who are united in a clan and regularly purchase items in the in-game store with real currency. In this case, users receive additional motivation to use the in-game store or web store. You can create clan reward chains by giving out rewards for a certain amount of real currency spent. There can be several chains in the game. The maximum length of one chain is 31 steps. Each step has an execution condition — to gain a given number of value points that show the clan progress in the reward system. When a user who is in a clan (a clan member) makes a purchase, the value points are shared with the entire clan.

At each step, a clan can receive from 1 to 10 rewards for each member. You can reward users by giving out the following item types:

• virtual items
• virtual currency
• virtual currency packages
• bundles

Unauthorized users and users without clan can see clan reward chains as blocked.

Features for displaying value points

You can select multiple reward chains in one block and choose how to display them: under each other or in tabs. Colors for each track can be customized. Item cards display value points only for those reward chains that have been added to the site. However, when purchasing items, clan members receive value points for all active reward chains, regardless of their display on the site.

Example:

You have 2 reward chains set up: a personal reward chain and a clan reward chain. The first chain has a bonus point called Crystal; the second one has a bonus point called Magic Bubble. In the item catalog, there is a product called Sword with value points: when purchasing this product, a clan member will be credited with 20 Crystals and 40 Magic Bubbles.

When you add the Store block in the builder and select the type and group of items that contain the Sword item:

1. If you have not added a reward chain to the site, the Sword item will not display value points.
2. If you have only added a personal reward chain to the site, and it is active, then the Sword item will only display 20 Crystals.
3. If you have only added a clan reward chain to the site, and it is active, then the Sword item will only display 40 Magic Bubbles.
4. If you have added both a personal and a clan reward chain to the site, then the Sword item will display both 20 Crystal and 40 Magic Bubbles. For clan members, 40 Magic Bubbles will be displayed as an active value. For users without a clan, 40 Magic Bubbles will be displayed as a locked value.

Features of displaying tooltips for value points​​

A tooltip is displayed when hovering over value points only if the site has both types of reward tracks — personal and for the clan. The text in the tooltip for a personal reward chain contains information about how many value points the purchase will bring.

TOP-10 contributors

When hovering over the clan reward chain balance, a tooltip will display a list of the top 10 contributors to the reward chain for the user’s current clan. If you have chosen to authenticate by user ID on the site, we recommend returning the value of the user’s name parameter in the webhook response. This will be set as the value of the nickname parameter in the Login project, and the nickname itself will be displayed in the list of top 10 contributors to the reward chain. If you do not send the name parameter value in the webhook response, the list will display user IDs.

Defining the user clan

​​When authenticating by user ID, you need to implement sending the User validation webhook in Web Shop. The response must return an array of attributes objects with the clan_id attribute key. For attributes to work correctly, you need to configure the attribute scheme in Login.

{
  "user": {
    "id": "1234567890",
    "picture": "https://example.com",
    "name": "test-name"
  },
  "attributes": [
    {
     "key": "clan_id",
     "value": "beetles"
    }
  ]
}

In this case, the attribute will be automatically added to the user or updated. If the user has left the clan and has not joined another, you need to pass the clan_id value in the removing_keys field:

Example:

{
  "user": {
    "id": "1234567890",
    "picture": "https://example.com",
    "name": "test-name"
  },
  "removing_keys": [
    "key": "clan_id"
  ]
}

Example of attribute scheme in a Login project:

{
	"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
	"additionalProperties": false,
	"description": "JSON Schema example for user attributes. Not the actual schema.",
	"properties": {

		"clan_id": {
			"description": "name of clan",
			"type": "string"
		},
		"custom-id": {
			"description": "custom-id of a user.",
			"type": "number"
		},
		"had_ban": {
			"description": "Whether the user was banned.",
			"type": "boolean"
		},
		"last_purchase": {
			"description": "Date of user's last purchase.",
			"type": "string"
		},
	},
	"required": [],
	"title": "Example",
	"type": "object"
}
