Pre-signup achievements

Let visitors earn achievements before signup

Give visitors a small task, like exploring a feature or finishing a tutorial. Recognize it with an achievement, then let them keep that progress when they create an account.

How it works

Try something, earn something, keep it

Here is what that can look like in your product. Choose an example to follow a visitor from their first action to their new account.

Example scenario

  1. 01 Complete an action

    No account yet

    • Explore a core feature
    • Try the sample workflow

    Try a sample workflow

    Achievement carried over

    Create a first project

    After signup, the achievement belongs to their account. Their next task is to create a project of their own.

Progress carries over when your signup flow links the visitor to their account.

Your live progress

Add it to your product

You choose the tasks, Claimr tracks the progress

Start with one useful action and one achievement. Connect it to the way people already sign up for your product.

  1. 01

    Choose a first task

    Define the action that counts and the achievement or XP it earns.

  2. 02

    Show the progress

    Use the Claimr Widget or your own interface to show the task and what the visitor has earned.

  3. 03

    Connect your signup

    Link the visitor to their new account in your signup flow so their earned progress carries over.

Account linking is part of your integration. Before signup, saved progress depends on your visitor identity and storage settings.

Questions

The practical details

Does a visitor need an account to earn an achievement?

No. Eligible actions can earn achievements or XP before registration. Your integration identifies the visitor and records the activity using the configured identity and consent model.

How does progress move into the new account?

Your signup integration links the visitor identity to the new account using Claimr's supported account-linking flow. Set up and test that connection so earned progress carries over.

What if someone leaves and comes back?

Before signup, recognizing a returning visitor depends on your identity and storage setup. On this website, progress relies on storage in the same browser and preference consent. Clearing storage or changing browsers can break that connection. Progress does not automatically follow visitors across devices before account linking.

Can I choose which actions count?

Yes. You define the qualifying actions, completion conditions, and whether each activity can be earned once or repeated. Use one-time achievements for milestones and repeatable challenges where they fit your program.

Do I have to use the Claimr Widget?

The Widget gives you a ready-made interface for tasks and progress. You can also use Claimr's API and SDK to build the experience into your own interface.
