Reward Point Mod beta now available

[JayNT]

Hi

I really like this mod.

Where do i go to download it as the one i have downloaded (thought was latest) says it is for test sites only.

Really want it on my working site

This looks to be an impressive add-on - Thanks for the effort Andrew, I'll bet its popularity is going to keep you jumping!

A couple of questions: Is the Rewards program Always active for anyone who is logged-in? Is it possible to have the rewards program be a group that a person joins (added from the admin)? I'd like to have customers pay a yearly fee to belong and get a set discount. (such as 10% off all purchases)

Also, from the readme:
Help a mathematically-challenged guy here: If that is set to 0.10 then the customer would be getting 10% off all of their purchases, correct?

Finally; what happens with sale items and the purchase of items such as gift certificates?

Thanks!

This mod doesn't give a percentage off it give points based on purchases. Those points can be redeemed during checkout on future purchases. Default is 1 point equals one penny I think the current ratio is, but you can change that to whatever you want.

For assigning a group of cusomters a percentage off, you could use the group discounts that is built in, unless I don't understand the question.

Hello,

How can I make this mod give points based on the sale price (i.e. Retail Price $10 Sale Price $5). At the moment, it gives 10 when the sale price is 5. Can I make the ratio .5?

I'm all over the map on this topic - Sorry. I'll try to clarify what it is I'm hoping to be able to do: I want to offer a frequent spender type program where customers pay an annual fee and get some (more-or-less) set discount throughout the year, such as 10% off. However, concerning discounted items, I would like to be able to offer whichever is discount is greater, their set 10% or the sale price. (I know this can be done as I've seen it in play in an OSC Rewards mod)
The main problem with the native zen group discount is how it deals with sale items: It discounts them. (or I can have the module code altered to ignore them completely) It is my understanding that being able to offer whichever is discount is greater is not an option with the native Zen group discounts module, even if modified.

This Rewards add-on seems like a nice piece of work and I was attempting to see if it could be used in the manner I am seeking, of something similar, anyway.

Meltdown, to asnswer part of your question, you can give pricing discounts by groups, under Admin-customers-group pricing

I'm sure you can set the ratio globally, by category, or by product. Since my store based on Zen Cart is not live yet I haven't played with it to see if it gives the points based on regular or sale. If you say regular then I guess it doesn't check to see if the item is on sale or discounted first. I'm sure that is something andy could comment on.

If that is how it's working right now I would have to disable the points earned on every sale or discounted item until that option is available just give them the points based on the base price.

Just verified what you said and it doesn't take into account the sale or speical price when giving reward points. Andy is that something that could be added?

In the mean time I will just not give any reward points to my clearance items and adjust the ratio for reward points on special items for now. I don't have that many items in my store since I manufacture everything I sell so it's not that big a deal for me, but could be for those with 1000's of products.

just some quick questions,

first, what was decided on when points earned would become available to the customer? sunrise, shipping status, 30days, etc? An option to chose would be nice.

second, Andy is it possible to add points manually at this time, until you work on the update (referring to giving points for referrals) ?

Thanks


on aside note: pinetreecandles had chance to look at your current site..very nice : )

I think he is working on a mod that will allow you to choose which order status the points are rewarded at.

From what I can tell you can't add points manually as of yet. That is something he would have to add into the mod.

Thank you. I'm going live with the zen cart version on Sunday. It's been a chore to convert over. I have been using osC for over 2 years and was used to it. I don't have some of the same functionality with zen as I have with osc, at least not admin wise, but I like zen better so I can live with it.

You may want to have a look at this mod http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=501 It may do what your after. I checked it out and it seems nice, however I don't like the fact that you have to install a mod manager to use it. The mod manager is alpha version and gave me all kinds of SQL errors. I'm sure if I asked for help I could have gotten it corrected, but I prefer Andy's mod for reward points and I use a different mod to give store credit with. The two work well together.
