Rewards Plan Details
Clicking the Add or Edit button will open the details of the rewards plan.
●Description : Enter in the description of the rewards plan.
●Point Accumulation : There are 2 ways you can set up the POS to accumulate the points.
○Earn X Points For Every Sale : The customer will get X points for every sale they participate in.
Example if the POS is set to give a point for every sale, after three sales, the customer will have earned 3 points.
○Earn X Points For Every (dollar) Spent : The customer will get X points for every time they reach the dollar incremental amounts in a sale.
Example: If the POS is set up to give a point for every $10.00 spent, and the customer spends $30, that customer would get 3 points.
Note: If you are using Earn X Points For Every (dollar) Spent, customers will only get a point for whole amounts of that dollar threshold. Partial amounts will not be carried over to the next sale. It is not “Cumulative” sales.
Example: If your POS is set up to give a point for every $10.00 spent, and a customer spends $25.00, then they will only get 2 points. If they come in again in a week and spend another $25.00, they will get another 2 points. The $5.00 from the previous sale left over and the $5.00 Extra from this sale will not add to $10.00 to get another point.
●Deduct For Returns (Check Box) : Checking this box will Deduct points when an item is returned.
Example: Customer earns 3 points for purchasing an item. a few days later that customer returns the item. Then customer would also lose the 3 points.
●Point Redemption : Receive (x.xx) for each X Point(s) Redeemed. The customer will get a dollar amount for every point they redeem at the POS.
Example: If the POS is set to redeem $1.00 for every 1 point redeemed, and the customer redeems 10 points, then the customer will get $10.00 to use towards their purchase.
●Must Have X Point(s) To Redeem : This will require the customer to have a minimum of X points before they can redeem them.
Example: Customer can redeem 1 point for $1.00. The requirement is to have 10 points. If the customer has 8 points, they will not be able to redeem points until they have at least 10.
●Payment Type : Once the points are converted to a dollar amount, the Payment Type will be used to track those redeemed rewards. This will allow you to run reports on redeemed points in the future. Click on the Drop Down menu and select the payment type you wish to use.
