Deterministic Voucher Stacking Engine, Multi-Tier Loyalty Point Ledger, and Anti-Margin Drain Promotional Guard.
@kido/discount-loyalty
Architecture Paradigm: Deterministic Priority Coupon Pipeline + Tiered Multiplier Point Ledger + Bounded Redemption Percent Cap with Category Isolation.
π₯ The Real-World Bottleneck
Promotional discounting and loyalty rewards are the primary drivers of e-commerce conversions, yet naive implementations frequently trigger critical financial and operational leaks:
- Negative Order Margin Stacking: A user stacks a 20% category voucher, a 50,000β« referral coupon, and a 100,000β« loyalty points redemption on a 150,000β« cart. Without strict precedence and minimum transaction thresholds, the final total becomes negative (-20,000β«), forcing the merchant to pay payment gateway fees and logistics out-of-pocket.
- Double-Redemption Point Concurrency: During midnight flash campaigns, a customer opens two parallel browser tabs and applies 500 loyalty points to both checkouts concurrently. Relational databases without deterministic optimistic locking allow both checkouts to succeed, resulting in a negative loyalty balance.
- Lump-Sum Tax & RMA Corruption: When a voucher deducts 100,000β« at the order level instead of attributing it proportionally across eligible line items, partial returns (RMA) calculate inaccurate refunds and tax authorities audit VAT discrepancies across mixed-rate categories (e.g., 8% food vs 10% merchandise).
ποΈ 3-Tier Production Evolution Ladder
| Dimension | Tier 1 (SME Baseline) | Tier 2 (Growth / Scale) | Tier 3 (Big-Tech Standard - @kido/discount-loyalty) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voucher Evaluation | Client-side JS or naive order.total - voucher.val | DB trigger with single-coupon limit | Deterministic Pipeline with Category/Item Filtering, Tier Gating & Cap Enforcement |
| Loyalty Point Ledger | Mutable integer column on users table | Relational transaction log (loyalty_transactions) | Double-entry point ledger, Tier multipliers, and max order redemption bounds (e.g. max 50%) |
| Tier Calculation | Nightly cron job recomputing customer tier | Event-driven recalculation after order completion | In-memory O(1) tier rank evaluator with configurable threshold steps (BRONZE to DIAMOND) |
| Partial Returns (RMA) | Manual support estimation of refunded voucher value | Flat ratio refund across all items | Item-level eligible amount tracking with deterministic pro-rata discount allocation |

1. voucher/voucher-engine.ts
validateVoucher(voucher, context): Evaluates active state, validity window (validFrom,validTo), usage quotas, tier gating (minTier), and category/SKU eligibility before calculating discounts.calculateVoucherDiscount(voucher, context): Executes percentage discounts withmaxDiscountAmountcaps or fixed currency deductions. GuaranteesfinalTotal >= 0.VoucherEngine: Thread-safe in-memory registry for fast voucher resolution and batch validation.
2. loyalty/loyalty-engine.ts
determineMemberTier(totalSpend, tiers?): Resolves member tier (BRONZE,SILVER,GOLD,DIAMOND) based on cumulative lifetime GMV.calculatePointsToEarn(orderAmount, tier, config?): Calculates earned points scaled by tier multipliers (e.g., Diamond members earn 2.0x base rate).calculateRedeemDiscount(account, requestedPoints, orderSubtotal, config?): Enforces minimum redemption thresholds (minRedeemPoints = 10) and maximum basket redemption caps (maxRedeemPercentPerOrder = 50%).
π» Production Implementation & Code Snippet
The following snippet demonstrates end-to-end promotion evaluation: validating a seasonal voucher against restricted categories, enforcing membership tier gating, and redeeming loyalty points with margin protection.
