Choose and rank perks

Decide which perks appear in your perks center and control their order — so your strongest offer is the first thing a customer sees.

Your perks center shows the perks you choose from the set available to your account. Choosing and ranking is how you curate that page: you pick the perks worth showing, then put them in the order that reads best. Rank matters because customers skim from the top — the perk at rank 1 gets the most attention, so that's where your highest-value or most-relevant offer should sit.

You do this in the Paylode app, with no code — the selection and order are stored on Paylode's side, so every surface that renders the page picks up your changes on its next load.

Before you begin​

  • A perks center. The page you're curating must already exist for your account.
  • Know what's available to you. You can only add perks that are available to your account. Trying to add anything else is rejected.

Choose and rank in the app​

  1. Open the perk-selection area for your perks center in the Paylode app.
  2. Add the perks you want to show. Only perks available to your account appear as options.
  3. Set the order. Rank 1 is shown first (top of the list); rank 2 next, and so on. Every perk needs its own rank — two perks can't share the same rank.
  4. Save, then preview to see the order a customer will see.

Membership is stored on Paylode's side, so once you save, every place you've embedded or hosted the page reflects the new selection on its next load — no redeploy.

Or let performance set the order​

Instead of hand-ranking, you can turn on Automatic sorting in the same perk-selection area and let the perks' own track record decide the order. Pick a metric and, for the performance metrics, a trailing time window:

  • Newest — recently added perks first. No time window; a perk's age is what it is.
  • Most popular — the most-clicked perks across Paylode first.
  • Most engaging — the most-converted perks across Paylode first.
  • Highest conversion rate — the perks whose clicks most often lead to a conversion first.

The three performance metrics read over a window of the last 7, 30, or 90 days — the same platform-wide figures you see on each offer's performance panel in the marketplace. Pick 7 days to chase what's hot right now, 90 for a steadier order that doesn't reshuffle on every blip.

While automatic sorting is on, Paylode re-ranks the page's perks once a day, and the ranks can't be edited by hand. Perks that don't have figures for the chosen window yet — brand-new or recently quiet ones — go to the bottom, keeping their previous order among themselves.

caution

Turning automatic sorting off doesn't restore your old order. The last automatically applied ranking stays in place — it just stops updating. If you switch back to manual, expect to re-rank from there.

Perk selection and ranking is an app surface — there's no client API for it. If you render perks yourself, your integration still just reads the collection (Build a custom perk page); the order you set here is already applied to what comes back.

Troubleshooting​

caution

Two perks can't share a rank. Every perk needs its own position — the save is refused until each rank is unique. Renumber and save again.

caution

A perk can't be added. You can only select perks available to your account. If a perk you expect is missing from the options, it may have expired or been pulled — check it in the marketplace.
