## Prerequisites

<Steps>
  <Step title="Shopify Plus">
    This feature is exclusively available to merchants on the **Shopify Plus** plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Updated Shopify Theme">
    Your Shopify theme must support app blocks. Without this, the option to add the Gameball block won't appear in the editor. [Learn more](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/extend/apps).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Gameball Embed Block">
    Go to the **Theme Editor** in your Shopify admin. Select **App Embeds** from the left menu, search for "Gameball," and toggle it on.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate Gameball Program">
    In the Gameball dashboard, make sure the toggle at the top-right is activated. Once this is enabled, you'll be able to add the Gameball block.

## How It Works

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Logged-In Customers">
    When a logged-in customer reaches the checkout page, the extension will automatically apply a discount if the customer is part of a tier that qualifies for a lifetime reward.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/gameball/aJ_BSQbSOF-R8lP1/images/product-docs/onsite-components/checkout-tier-rewards-logged-in.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=aJ_BSQbSOF-R8lP1&q=85&s=b9168a91ec8eb138feaa92da71d61d3b" alt="Logged-in customer tier reward applied" width="1056" height="786" data-path="images/product-docs/onsite-components/checkout-tier-rewards-logged-in.png" />
    </Frame>

    If the discount cannot be applied due to conditions such as meeting a minimum order value, restrictions on combining discounts, or other advanced rules, an error message will appear explaining why the coupon cannot be used for the current cart.

    </Frame>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Guest (Not Logged-In) Customers">
    Non-logged-in customers will not be able to receive a discount until they log in and become eligible for a tier with a lifetime reward. Once logged in, the same rules for applicable discounts will apply, including any restrictions that may prevent the coupon from being used.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
