Generous to the customer.
Safe for the margin.
Cashback is a liability the moment you issue it. Every control here exists to keep that number where you want it.
Rate
A percentage of the order total, set per program.
Caps
A ceiling per order, so a large basket cannot run away.
Expiry
Unspent credit expires and is written back to you.
Liability
Know what you owe,
to the cent.
Issued credit is money you have promised. Perkss books it as a liability, clears it on redemption, and writes back what expired - so the number in your accounts is the number on the ledger.
