VIP tiers and referrals
Setting up VIP tiers
Reward your best customers automatically as their spend moves them up tiers.
Pro Plan
VIP tiers reward your best customers with better earning rates, exclusive perks, and status recognition. As customers spend more (or earn more points), they automatically move up through your tiers.
Creating your tier structure
A common starting structure:
| Tier | Requirement | Earn Multiplier | Perks Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0+ points | 1× (base rate) | Standard rewards |
| Silver | 500+ points | 1.5× | Free shipping rewards |
| Gold | 2,000+ points | 2× | Exclusive early access |
| Platinum | 5,000+ points | 3× | VIP concierge support |
Tier qualification methods
You can qualify customers into tiers based on:
- Total points earned (lifetime, including redeemed points)
- Total spend (lifetime order value)
Set up tiers under Miko App → VIP Tiers → New Tier. Name each tier, set the threshold, and configure the earn multiplier and any perks.
Tier progression is automatic
When a customer's points or spend crosses a tier threshold, they're upgraded automatically. They receive a notification (if you've set up tier upgrade emails via Shopify Flow). No manual action needed from you or your team.
Tier downgrade: You can choose whether tiers are permanent (once earned, kept forever) or annual (re-qualified each year based on that year's activity). Annual tiers create urgency to maintain status. Configure this in VIP Tier Settings.
