Earn Points Rule

The "Earn Points For Every Spending" feature allows customers to accumulate loyalty points based on their purchase amount. This encourages customer loyalty and repeat business by rewarding spending behavior. Points are calculated automatically during checkout and are credited to the customer's account immediately after transaction completion.

Only HQ products can earn points: Points can only be earned when consuming products generated by the headquarters and synchronized to specific stores.

Earn 1 point per xxx spent: The number of points earned per unit of local currency spent.
Which order types can earn points?: Specify ordering methods that are included in points earning.

Example: ​​Set "Earn 1 point for $10 spent", and earn points through actual payment:

Currently, the user account has no points. The total amount of this bill payment is $45. According to the conversion rule "Earn 1 point for $10 spent", the user should finally get 4 points.

Check the customer's information from the customer list, and you will find that he has earned 4 points from this order.

 

Point Expiration

No Expiration Date - Points will not expire

Annual Expiration - Points will reset to zero on a specific date each year, which can be set by Point Expiry Date

Monthly Expiration - Points will reset to zero at the start of a new month

Keep points earned within the last [X] months: If you set the points to be cleared on May 1st of each year or on the 1st of each month, and keep the points in the past month, then the points will be removed to zero at 0:00 on May 1st, and the points from April 1st to April 30th will be kept.

​​

Points Payment Rules 

Points-to-Cash Rate($1): This setting determines how many points are equivalent to 1 unit of local currency.

Minimum Redemption Unit: The minimum number of points required to redeem for a single unit of currency

Redeem Starts From: The minimum points balance a customer must have before being eligible to make any redemption.

 
Example:
Suppose the settings are:
Points-to-cash rate: 100 (100 points = $1)
Minimum redemption unit: 10 points
Redeem starts from: 1000 points
 
Scenario description:
If a user has 900 points:
They cannot redeem, because it not reach the 1000-point threshold.

If a user has 1111 points:
They can redeem 1110 points = $11.10, leaving 1 point unused since it does not meet the minimum unit of 10 points.

Note: “Minimum redemption unit” and “Redeem starts from” must convert to an amount with no more than two decimal places.

 
The "Minimum Redemption Unit" and "Redeem Starts From" boxes turn red to indicate that the value setting is unreasonable and will not take effect because the converted amount will exceed 2 decimal places.
 
This value setting is reasonable and will take effect because the converted amount will have no more than two decimal places.
 
After adding a customer, it will be displayed when the backend has opened the point payment function, and the customer's points can be used to deduct the amount.
 

Points payment

Let's set the rule here, and take an example of it:
Points-to-cash rate: 100 (100 points = $1)
Minimum redemption unit: 10 points
Redeem starts from: 1000 points

Points fully deducted

When you have enough points to offset the order amount, select Pay with Points, and the "Other Payment Methods" and "Mixed Payment" switches will be hidden. Unchecking "Pay with Points" will restore them.
You won't earn new points if you fully offset the order amount.

Points not fully deducted

If you don't have enough points to offset the order amount, select "Mixed Payment" as usual.
Points can be earned for the portion of the payment not made with points. 
After paying with points, the remaining $19.6 needs to be paid with other payment methods. After the payment is completed, according to "Earn 1 point for $10 spent", he will get 1 new point.
 

Dual Pricing is enabled

Under dual pricing, the points rules are similar to those mentioned above.

 

Mix payment with Point

Cash & Point 

As Payable=Total -Cash discount - Point, when we choose Cash + Point, Payable =  $18.00 - $0.36 - $15.1 = $2.54.

After calculating the points payment, the cash payment is $2.54.

Card & Point 

 

Partial payment with points

When points can be fully deducted from the order payment, but the customer still wants to pay part of the amount with non-points, they can choose Mix Payment to pay part of the amount and then use points to pay the remaining amount.

Example: The following is an order with a cash payment of $9.8 and a card payment of $10. The current points balance is $163.9, which can be fully deducted.

Customers can choose to pay part of the money in cash first and the rest with points.

Enable Mix Payment, select Cash Payment, and click to edit the cash amount:

If the customer plans to pay in full in cash, he still needs to pay $4.8 in cash.

The top shows the deduction amount for cash payment and the total amount of points deduction.

Order Records will record the detailed points redemption information.

For those who wish to use card payment with partial payment using points, the operation process is similar.

 

Cash on delivery(points payment not supported)

When customers select "Cash on Delivery" as a payment method, they will earn points after completing an online order.

But point deduction is not supported when paying. 

As shown in the figure below, there are sufficient points to offset the payment, but the points redemption option is automatically hidden from the payment options.

 

 

Split Order Pay Points

The "Split Order Pay Points" feature allows customers to use their accumulated membership points to pay for multiple orders when splitting the main order. This provides flexibility for group dining scenarios where they prefer to use different payment methods. Each sub-order can independently select points as a payment method, and detailed point redemption information will be displayed in the payment results.

 All sub-bill point payment details will be recorded in the Order Record.

 

Pay points as tips(Not supported)

The Points Payment feature is currently not supported in this system version. When users attempt to access the points payment option, the system will display a clear notification indicating this functionality is unavailable.

 

Points Refund

The Points Refund feature allows for the full or partial refund of points used in a transaction back to the customer's loyalty account. This ensures flexibility in handling returns or order modifications while maintaining the integrity of the loyalty program.

How to refund points on POS:

Location:​​ Main POS > Order Records, click to expand order details, click the Refund button.

There are 3 refund ways to choose: 

1. Entire Bill/Check: All points used in the transaction are returned.

2. By ltem(s): A portion of the points used is returned based on the returned items.

3. Custom Amount: The customer enters the amount they wish to refund, which is automatically converted into corresponding points and returned to their account.
