Loyalty module

[gavin m]

Hey,

Does anyone know of a 'Loyalty Scheme' module?

You know, the sort of thing where customers earn points for each purchase, these points are converted to currency and they can use it against future schemes.

For example, for every complete x they spend, they earn one point. Each point is worth y pence. During check out, they are told their total loyalty value and there's a check box for them to tick if they wish to use it against their current order.

So, say the 'x' was £1 and the 'y' was 2 pence (or $1 and 2cent etc), if they placed an order of £100, they would earn a total of 100 loyalty points which a equates to £2. They can then use this during their next order by checkign a check box some where in the check out process to reduce the total cost down, or they can keep saving to use on a later order.

Cheers

the exact thing im after!!!.. if you have any luck let me know lol

Been toyign with doing it manually, but it just won;t work. Really need it working through the store.

So, if any one knows of one, or maybe there is one in development?

Does anyone have something like this on their list of 'To Do' contributions?

Because the members order history is stored in the data base. it would seam that a simple call to the Data base could provide the total spent (automatically adjusted for any refunded or canceled orders and such). Then you could simply give points based on total spent.

You may have to have some place to store the Value of spent points so they could be subtracted from the total points.

By basing the points off of the spent money you don't have to reinvent the wheel trying to add extra functions to keep count of all the points.

As far as being able to credit the epoint back to the customer that might take a little more programming savy.

One way would be to have the total point discount shown at check out with an option to ues the points. if they are used in part or full then subtract that from the product total before adding in shipping and such.

Hi,

I have just finished Loyalty Points mod. Please review/test this mod on my test site.

Loyalty Points Test

You will need to register and make a purchase. After that view "Account" page to see Loyalty Points collected based on purchase value. The mod is configured to value points at .01 to dollar/pound. This value is managed from the Admin panel. The store admin is also able to manually assign points to any customer. Make a second purchase and you will be able to apply points value to discount the second order.

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

The mod will be made available commercially following this testing period.

Thank you

just testing this as i really want something like this

ok feedback:

like the way it works however..

1) is it possible when you are checking out with an item to see how many points it worth?

example on the checkout/confirm & checkout/cart page to show that if they place order then they will get X amount of points.

2) rather than saying please use 100 points and update the total, wouldn't it be easier saying that you have up to £x to use from your points, please enter an amount you want to use in £xx.xx then update? (this is on checkout/confirm page)

3) if you allocate the points there is no option to remove them once allocated to an order - lets say you want to use £10 on the order , then change your mind, once its allocated it cant be removed..

im sure there is more but thats the 2 main things that jump out at me

many thanks

Interesting ideas. I will see if I could include them or some variation of the concept.

Hi,

I've updated the demo site with the latest "improvements"

give it a look and let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

thanks

[Donce]

excelent..

when it is going to be released?

[cmebd]

Brilliant

I would be interested once released.

I would also find an additional option of providing the rates in the checkout page: ie. 10 [points] = X[cents/dollars]

Hope that makes sense?

cheers

Hi,
I' think I'll be able to release this mod beginning next week.

Works well from what I can see.

What the Admin like? Is there Admin access for the demo?

- Are the rates configurable?
...such as £1 = 1 point / 10 points / 100 points?
...and 1 point = 1p / 10p / £100 ?


Can admins Add/Remove points from users too?
(say if theres a mistake with a purchase amount, or similar).


Is there any support for items which are "refunded", say if the buyer returns the item, and we mark the order off as "refunded" or similar, does it automatically remove the correct amount of points from the users account? Or do they stay on?


Great work

Hi,

I'm thinking to add a new future to this mod:

If you buy x products accumulate x pints then the client can chose an free product, which will be seated up from admin.

Since people still seem to be working on this (much needed) plugin I want to make a few feature request that may or may not already be included.

Admin should be able to add points manually to an individual customer - provides a cross over between shops and a way to reward or compensate specific customers

Admin should be able to add points to a customer group - provides a way to say thank you or celebrate or promote.

Admin should be able to increase points overall (x2, x3) - provides an incentive for the holidays/Christmas/Seasons/Sales

Would be nice if these could be included.

[gavin m]

Outstanding, I'm glad to see this is moving forward.

Looking forward to it arriving!!

[Miguelito]

Haven't seen this mod in the contributions so is this already released or under contruction?

[england4eva]

Anyone know what became of this?

Just tried to visit Goobys page but Microsoft blocked it stating it was unsafe?
