Clan reward system

Glossary

How it works

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.

How to get it

To set up a clan reward system, you will need the following details:

• Start and end dates of the reward system.

• An image, description, SKUs, and names of clan value points that enable progress in the clan reward chain.
• The number of value points and items in the clan reward chain.

Implement on your side:

• display of elements of the reward system in the store:
