If your brand uses Multi-accounts, the Burn Rules configuration is integrated into the account edior(s), therefore you’ll be redirected to the homepage of the Multi-accounts module where you will see the list of accounts that you have already set up. Click the ‘Edit’ button on the right end of the row to set up the specifics of the chosen account. Here, you can configure the Burn Rules settings under the Burn rules tab for each of the accounts added.

Special burn rules

Adding exceptions makes it possible to define a new set of Burn Rules rules for specific customer groups, also known as, segments. Click the ‘Add new restriction’ special burn rule’ button, select the segment(s), and add the exchange rates.

There could be a scenario when some segments might overlap among the rules that you want to apply. This can be further sophisticated using the ‘Priority’ field, specifying how high the given exception should be ranked (settings with ‘1' priority will override settings with '2’ priority).

Example scenario

...

  • Exception Special burn rule #1 with Priority 2 – ‘Outgoers’ ‘Outgoers - EUR’ segment needs to spend 4 points to get EUR 1 discount

  • Exception Special burn rule #2 with Priority 1 – ‘Gold’ ‘Gold - EUR’ members need to spend 3 points to get EUR 1 discount

→ Gold members who are Outgoers will need to spend 3 points to get EUR 1 discount as Special burn rule #2 takes priority.
