    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Cashback Value (Percentage-Based)" icon="percent">
        State the percentage of the cashback you want to grant for orders from that collection.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Cashback Value Based on Unit (Points-Based)" icon="coins">
        State the amount of points you want to give for every dollar they spend buying from the specified collection.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Fixed Cashback Value" icon="lock">
        Ideal if you want to offer **consistent point rewards per collection**, regardless of the product's price.

        <Info>
          **Fixed Cashback Value** is perfect for exclusive items. For example, if you want to reward 100 points per product in the "New Arrivals" collection, regardless of whether an item costs $20 or $200.

          To enable fixed cashback, you must send the following details **per item** in the Order API: Collection ID(s), Price, Discount, Taxes, and Product ID.
        </Info>

        **Fixed Cashback Key Rules:**

        * If an item belongs to multiple collections, Gameball will reward based on the **highest fixed point value**.
        * If multiple different items from the same collection are purchased, the fixed points reward applies per item.
        * The **fixed points reward will still respect active Points Multiplier Campaigns** (e.g., Double Points: 200 becomes 400).

    </AccordionGroup>
