Setting up your loyalty program

The Loyalty Program enables your customers to accrue loyalty points when they spend money with you. They can then use those points as payment.

This article will explain how to:

  1. Customise your Loyalty Program
  2. Accrue loyalty points
  3. Use loyalty points as payment
  4. Edit a customers loyalty point balance
  5. Exclude invividual items from accruing points

1. CUSTOMISING YOUR LOYALTY PROGRAM

To customise your Loyalty Program, please click:

  • Manage, then
  • Loyalty Program

Use the checkbox to Enable the program, then select:

  • How many points are earned per money unit spent
  • How many points are required to redeem one money unit

For example:

  • Each $1.00 spent = 1 point earned
  • To redeem $1.00 = 10 points are required
  • So, 1 point = $0.10
  • Equivalent discount: 10.00%

On this page you can also select if the loyalty points are accrued on tax paid, and you can apply the program in bulk to all products, services and employees.
