The rewards module is incredibly flexible and can be used in a myriad of ways. This flexibility can be a cause for confusion. So, lets get into some examples to help illustrate how simple it can be to setup your rewards program.
Learn how we calculate rewards points. http://docs.evolutionx.io/en/articles/3832077-reward-point-calculations
The first thing to learn is how we can group products and use them in Rewards.
👍 The idea is that you first create a group of products. Then you decide what reward points these products get.
Create a Product group
Simply head over to Products >> Groups
Create a Reward Rule
Setup your reward rule
Priority - This is helpful when your product groups overlap. Sometime you can have the same product appear in 2 different groups. When this happens you can determine what rule should take effect. 1 is the highest priority.
Minimum Spend - Product groups can have a minimum threshold e.g. give the customer points only after they purchase $50 worth of furniture.
Spend & Reward Points - These two fields work together to help calculate the points value that should be applied.
Example Reward Rules
For every $1 spent on any product, give them 1 point.
For every $5 spent on any product within a given category, give them 10 points
For every $100 spent on any product with the Brand, give them 1000 points
Create a Badge for your Reward rules
Within each reward rule you will see "Badges" tab. This area allows you to create a unique message to be displayed for each of your product group rules.
Turning on Rewards
Step 1. Turn it on Globally
Navigate to Store Settings >> General >> Store Preferences
Step 2. Enable rewards for an individual user or account
👍 Important: Account Users are controlled at an account level. Thus, you turn on/off rewards for all Users within that account
Setup Accounts
Accounts - Admin area
Account Admins - Storefront
Setup Users (Non-account Users)
👍 Important: Individual Users, that are not part of an account, can turn the rewards on and off for themselves.
Non-account Users - Storefront
Non-account Users - Admin area
Registering for Rewards
The registration process includes a tickbox to signup for rewards. However, the users or account admins can always enable rewards for their account from within their profile settings area.
Edit the text in the Store Settings >> General >> Store Preferences
