# Creating a Double Points Earning Rule on Shopify

Products

  
Loyalty & Referrals

###### Supported plans

Pro, Premium, Enterprise

###### eCommerce Platform

Shopify, Shopify Plus

You have the option to award customers twice as many points using the [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) earning rule (previously known as a campaign). This is a great way to boost sales around big holidays and increase the frequency of purchases and average order value.

In this article, you'll learn how to use the [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) earning rule to offer customers double the usual amount of points.

## Setting up a double points earning rule

To run a double points promotion, you will need to create two [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) earning rules and have them run simultaneously.

1. From your Loyalty & Referrals admin menu, go to ****Manage** Program** > **Earning Rules.**
2. Click **Create earning rule**.
3. Select **Points for Purchases** and then click **Next**.
4. Under **Points for Purchases settings,** enter the same points value as your original Points for Purchases earning rule.
5. Click **Save**.

Tip:To check what points value is set for your original [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) rule, go to the [**Earning Rules**](/v1/docs/earning-rules-overview) page.

### Scheduling a double points promotion for a limited period of time

You can use the [scheduling feature](/v1/docs/) to run double points for purchases for a limited period of time.

This feature is available for Loyalty & Referrals customers on [Premium and Enterprise](https://loyalty-app.yotpo.com/admin/#/plans) plans.

In this case, your base [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) earning rule remains running regularly, while your second rule will be scheduled to begin and end on a certain date and time.

To set a schedule for your second [points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) rule, do the following:

1. From the relevant Points for Purchases earning rule page, click **Advanced settings**.
2. Under **Schedule rule**, set a start date/time and an end date/time.
3. Click **Save**.

To learn more about scheduling earning rules, refer to our [Scheduling an Earning Rule](/v1/docs/scheduling-an-earning-rule) article.

## Additional options for applying double points

### Offering double points for specific products, customers, etc.

If you want to promote certain products or attract specific customers (for ex: new customers), you make double points available only for them. To do this, edit the [**Advanced settings**](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify#managing-advanced-settings) in both [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) earning rules.

### Double points for VIP tiers

VIP Tiers are available for merchants on [Premium and Enterprise](https://loyalty-app.yotpo.com/admin/#/plans) plans.

Double [Points for Purchases](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-points-for-purchases-earning-rule-on-shopify) can also be added to [VIP tiers](/v1/docs/loyalty-referrals-vip-tiers) that have point multipliers. If you want your second Points for purchases earning rule to apply to these tiers, do the following:

1. In your Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals main menu, go to **Manage** **Program >** [**VIP Tiers Program**](https://loyalty-app.yotpo.com/vip-tiers).
2. Click the tier where you want your points multiplier to apply to both Points for Purchases earning rules.
3. Under **Apply Points Multiplier to These Campaigns,** check the box next to the newly added points for purchases earning rule.
4. Repeat these steps for any other tiers that have point multipliers.
