By default, your Earned Points email notification will use the merge tag {{points_given_reason}} to automatically fill-in what reason a member has earned points for.
There are a number of ways to earn points, and they will vary depending one what the most recent points-earning action the member made before receiving the email.
📝 Note: These emails will only be sent if you have 'Earned points' email notifications turned on.
Making a purchase
Points earned for general shopping in your store will send a 'Thanks for shopping!' email notification with the points earned from their order.
Creating an account
Points earned for creating a store account with your Shopify store will send a 'Thanks for creating an account' email notification with the points you've specified for this action.
