## How It Works for Customers

<Steps>
  <Step title="Customer Places an Order">
    A customer places a **new order** after the campaign is activated.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reward is Triggered">
    Gameball automatically triggers the reward.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customer Receives the Reward">
    The customer receives the reward immediately (points, discount, badge — based on your setup).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reward Notification">
    The customer is notified via the widget or email, depending on your configuration. [Learn more](/product-documentation/rewards-campaigns/start-from-scratch/setup-reward-campaign)
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Important Notes

<Note>
  **New Orders Only**

  Only customers who place a new order **after** the campaign is activated will be rewarded.
</Note>

<Note>
  **No Retro Rewarding**

  Orders placed before the campaign is activated will **not** be counted. The customer must place **a new order after activation** to receive the reward.
</Note>
