This feature helps you reward strategic buying behavior — for example, giving extra points for premium collections, or excluding discounted collections from earning rewards.
How It Works
You can configure collection-specific rules under:
Rewards → Collections
Here you can set:
A fixed number of bonus points per dollar spent, or
An override value that replaces the normal points earned, or
An exclude rule to block points from a collection.
Example: Bonus Points
Let’s say your standard earning rate is 10 points per dollar.
You could create a rule that adds 10 bonus points for purchases in a “Featured” collection — meaning those items now earn 20 points per dollar (2× normal).
Adding a Bonus Rule
Go to Rewards → Collection Bonus.
Click Add Collection.
Select your collection.
Enter how many bonus Glow Bucks to add.
Choose Bonus as the award mode.
Click Add Collection.
Collection Title | Mode | Exclude? | Glow Bucks |
Dog Treats | Bonus | No | 10 / USD |
Example: Excluding or Overriding Points
You can also prevent certain products from earning points — useful for sale items, gift cards, or low-margin products.
To do this:
Add a new collection.
Choose Override as the award mode.
Set Glow Bucks to 0.
This tells Glow to replace the normal point value and award zero points for that collection.
Collection Title | Mode | Exclude? | Glow Bucks |
Dog Food | Override | No | 0 / Item |
Tips and Tricks
Shopify lets you assign products to multiple collections, and Glow will apply the most specific rule that matches.
Combine bonuses and overrides across collections to fine-tune your loyalty strategy — for instance, double points on “New Arrivals,” but none on “Sale” items.
You can use these controls to encourage spending where it matters most and protect profit margins where necessary.
