Custom Rewards are rewards created by your company and fulfilled outside of Nectar’s standard Reward options. Nectar tracks the status of these rewards so you know who received what.

Note: Nectar does not fulfill Custom Rewards. This feature is for tracking purposes only.


Where do I approve Custom Rewards?

If you’re an admin:

  • Go to Workspace Settings > Rewards > Manage

If you’re a manager:

  • Go to Approvals > Rewards

You’ll see a list of Custom Rewards that have been submitted.

  • Admins can view all pending claims

  • Managers can view claims where they are the Reward Admin


What do the Manage tabs mean?

You’ll see four tabs that track the status of each reward:

Pending

These are submitted Custom Rewards waiting for approval from a Reward Admin.

  • Click Yes to approve the reward
    → The request moves to the To Fulfill tab

  • Click No to reject the reward
    → The employee is refunded their points and notified via email
    → The request moves to the Refunded tab

To Fulfill

These rewards have been approved but not yet fulfilled.

  • Click the checkbox after you’ve provided the reward to the employee
    → The request moves to the Fulfilled tab

  • Click Refund to reject the claim
    → The employee is refunded their points and notified via email
    → The request moves to the Refunded tab

Note: Once you take action on a request (approve or reject), it cannot be undone. The employee would need to submit a new claim if needed.
