Reward delivery / timing
Make timing part of the customer promise
Delivery timing should reflect the campaign terms, Shopify order state, reward decision, and the recipient communication sequence.
Choose the event that starts delivery
Define which approved program state permits the first notification. Avoid using an early order event if later changes could create a materially different customer outcome.
Describe timing carefully
Customer language should set an understandable expectation without guaranteeing a delivery speed that depends on external services or unresolved review. Use confirmed service commitments for the actual program.
- Decision complete
- Notification queued
- Message sent
- Recipient accessed
- Exception identified
Measure delay by stage
A single end-to-end number can hide whether delay arose in order intake, decision review, messaging, access, or support. Stage-level reporting helps the responsible team improve the right handoff.
