How to provide users with daily rewards

You can provide users with daily rewards using the features of the In-Game Store.

This allow you to:

• Retain existing users and increase their activity in the game - users are motivated to enter the game every day to receive a reward.
• Attract new users with valuable rewards that would otherwise take longer to obtain during gameplay.
• Draw attention to subscriptions and battle passes by providing daily rewards for their purchase.

You can provide a daily reward to:

• all users
• users who meet personalized conditions

User flow

1. The user enters the store.
2. The user sees an item that is available only once a day for free.

3. The user receives the item.
4. For the user, the item no longer appears in the catalog until the next limit update. After the limit update, the item appears again and the user can receive it.

1. Example: Limit updates occur daily at 8pm. If a user received a reward at 5pm, then he can claim a new reward again in 3 hours after the limit updates.

How to set it up

Providing daily reward to all users

Create a free item and set a limit for the user with a Daily limit update frequency. You can create an item and limits via Publisher Account or API calls.

Via Publisher Account

1. Open your project in Publisher Account.
2. Click Store in the side menu.
3. In the Virtual Items pane, click Configure.
4. Click + and select Create item from the drop-down list
5. Specify:
   • Image
   • SKU
   • One or several groups the item should belong to
   • Name
   • Description
   • Item property: consumable, nonconsumable, or time-limited
6. In the Price settings block, choose Free item.
7. Switch the Limit number of times one user can buy this item toggle to On and specify a value as 1.
8. Choose Daily from the Limitation refresh frequency drop-down list and set the time and time zone.

9. To show the item in the store, set the Show item in store toggle to On.
10. Click Create item.

Via API calls

To create free items, use API calls from the Admin subsection:

• For virtual items — Create virtual item
• For currency package — Create virtual currency package
• For bundles — Create bundle

In the request body, pass:

• is_free = true — to create a free item
• limits.per_user = 1 — so that each user can receive the item only once
• recurrent_schedule array with interval_type = daily parameter — to update the limit daily

Providing daily rewards with personalization

You can provide daily rewards only to those users who meet specific conditions, for example such as purchasing an item or reaching a certain level in the game.

To do this:

• Create a free item that the user receives daily.

• Configure personalization for the free item:

  1. Create a user attribute that contains information about whether the user has fulfilled specific conditions.
     Example: You provide daily rewards to users who have purchased a Battle pass. To do this, create an attribute that can take values: true — there are Battle pass purchases, or false — no Battle pass purchases.
  2. Configure the transfer of user attributes to the data store.
  3. Set a rule to display the free item in the catalog only to users who meet specified conditions.
