When creating a new tier, you will see a **Store Credit Expiration** section where you can specify how long credits for that tier should remain active before expiring. #### Tier-specific expirations You can set different expiration periods for each membership tier. For example: * Bronze Tier credits may expire after 80 days * Diamond Tier credits may expire after 365 days This gives you flexibility to offer more value to higher-tier members. You can set unique credit expiration periods for each membership tier by going to **Membership Program > click the three dots next to the tier you want to edit > Edit Tier > Store Credit Expiration**. #### Important notes * Any changes to credit expiration only apply to **future credits** earned. They do not retroactively affect credits already received by members. * Credits expire at the same time of day they were originally issued. * Example: If a member earns credits at 1:00 PM on Monday with a 7-day expiration, the credits will expire at 1:00 PM the following Monday.
