## How Will This Work?

Every category on your Shopify store will have a badge. When your customers buy from these categories, they will earn these badges.

Here are some examples of how this looks for different store types:

> **Characters Shirts Store**
>
> Your store has different shirt categories; every category will have a badge like the ones below:

> **Kids Toys Store**

**3. Configure Triggers with the Category Field**

At the second step, under **Triggers**, you will find the available metadata **"category"** and the **"Equal"** operator. Write the **exact field name** of the category on your Shopify store as shown in the screenshot below.
