Dynamic Value for “Fixed Coupon Rewards”

Fixed Coupon Rewards has a Dynamic Value option. Instead of being limited to a static reward (e.g., 10off),youcannowconfigurefixedcouponstodynamicallycalculatetheirvaluebasedonapercentageofachosenvariable(e.g.,∗∗1510 off), you can now configure fixed coupons to dynamically calculate their value based on a percentage of a chosen variable (e.g., **15% of Value X**). In short, instead of always giving 10 off, a merchant can now set the coupon to equal 15% of the customer’s cart total or a specific metadata value, making offers more personalized and impactful.
Dynamic value configuration

Static Fixed Value

Configure a fixed coupon with a specific value (e.g., $10 off) that never changes.

Dynamic Value

Set the coupon to calculate dynamically as a percentage of a chosen metric, such as the cart total or an order value.
No changes are required in your workflow when switching to dynamic mode — just configure the value type when setting up your fixed coupon rewards. Offers adapt to cart totals, order values, or metadata-driven actions automatically.

​
Extra Reward Types

In addition to the online rewards, Gameball supports special rewards for Shopify POS systems and Recharge-enabled subscriptions.
This reward is available as a redemption option only.
