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.


πŸ’₯ 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).

Core Interfaces & Slices

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 with maxDiscountAmount caps or fixed currency deductions. Guarantees finalTotal >= 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%).

πŸ’» 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.

import {
  VoucherEngine,
  calculateVoucherDiscount,
  determineMemberTier,
  calculatePointsToEarn,
  calculateRedeemDiscount,
  DEFAULT_LOYALTY_CONFIG,
  type OrderContextInput,
  type VoucherInput,
  type LoyaltyAccountInput,
} from '@kido/discount-loyalty';

// 1. Define customer order context
const orderContext: OrderContextInput = {
  orderId: 'ORD-2026-9921',
  userTier: 'GOLD',
  items: [
    { id: 'SKU-COFFEE-01', name: 'Arabica Cold Brew', price: 65_000, quantity: 2, categoryId: 'BEVERAGE' },
    { id: 'SKU-CAKE-02', name: 'Matcha Tiramisu', price: 85_000, quantity: 1, categoryId: 'BAKERY' },
  ],
  subtotal: 215_000,
  currentDate: new Date('2026-11-20T10:00:00Z'),
};

// 2. Configure voucher with category restriction & cap
const summerVoucher: VoucherInput = {
  id: 'vouch-sum-2026',
  code: 'SUMMER20',
  name: 'GiαΊ£m 20% Δ‘α»“ uα»‘ng tα»‘i Δ‘a 30,000β‚«',
  type: 'PERCENTAGE',
  value: 20,
  maxDiscountAmount: 30_000,
  minOrderValue: 100_000,
  minTier: 'SILVER',
  applicableCategories: ['BEVERAGE'], // Only applied to 130,000β‚« of coffee
  isActive: true,
  validFrom: new Date('2026-06-01T00:00:00Z'),
  validTo: new Date('2026-12-31T23:59:59Z'),
  usedCount: 14,
  usageLimit: 1000,
};

// 3. Evaluate voucher discount
const voucherResult = calculateVoucherDiscount(summerVoucher, orderContext);
console.log('Voucher Applied:', {
  isValid: voucherResult.isValid,
  eligibleAmount: voucherResult.eligibleAmount, // 130,000β‚«
  discountAmount: voucherResult.discountAmount, // 26,000β‚« (20% of 130k)
  payableSubtotal: voucherResult.finalTotal,    // 189,000β‚«
});

// 4. Evaluate Loyalty Points Redemption (Gold Tier)
const userAccount: LoyaltyAccountInput = {
  id: 'loyalty-usr-441',
  userId: 'usr-8819',
  balance: 150, // 150 points = 150,000β‚« max
  tier: 'GOLD',
  totalSpend: 7_500_000,
  updatedAt: new Date(),
};

// Customer wants to redeem 100 points (100,000β‚«)
// Guard: Max 50% of payable subtotal (50% of 189,000β‚« = 94,500β‚« = 94 points max)
const redeemResult = calculateRedeemDiscount(
  userAccount,
  100,
  voucherResult.finalTotal,
  DEFAULT_LOYALTY_CONFIG
);

console.log('Loyalty Redemption Result:', {
  success: redeemResult.success,
  redeemedPoints: redeemResult.pointsRedeemed, // 94 points capped
  discount: redeemResult.discountAmount,       // 94,000β‚«
  finalTotal: voucherResult.finalTotal - redeemResult.discountAmount, // 95,000β‚«
});

// 5. Calculate Points Earned from Cash Portion
const pointsEarned = calculatePointsToEarn(95_000, 'GOLD', DEFAULT_LOYALTY_CONFIG);
console.log(`Earned ${pointsEarned} loyalty points on post-discount cash spend.`);
