Reward Points Module for ZC v13x

[mask2011]

Hey Andrew,

First of all, thanks so much for supporting people here to get the mod to do what we want it to. You're really a wonderful help!

As for the suggestion of adding an Advanced Rule to subtract the ot_discount module, that worked, but only partially.. It does deduct some points, but not all. Let me try and illustrate:

- Customer A orders Product B at SRP $79.90
- Customer A checks out without a discount coupon and gets 80 Rewards Points

The above works excellent..

However, what I would like is:

- Customer A orders Product B at SRP $79.90
- Customer A checks out with discount coupon and pays only $60
- Customer A will not get any Rewards Points for this order

At this moment, Customer A gets 60 Rewards Points because thats the value of his order. But I would want it to not give any points.. Is there any way I could update the configuration to do that? Or is there some place in the code where I could apply the change to make this work?

Appreciate your suggestions!

What happens if the customer "mixes and matches"- has an order with some discounted items and some regular? Do they receive any points in this situation?

[mask2011]

hehe good point :) Logically, they should receive points for those items that are SRP, however that might be very difficult to track.

As most of the coupons are general coupons, with some of them having a "product restriction" on them, I think it would be extremely difficult (technically) to ensure that points are allocated for those products that are without a discount-coupon applied to them and give no points for discounted products.. Zen Cart doesnt allow you to apply multiple coupons to a cart, so if I were to add 2 products that have a discount option, and I would apply 2 coupons, it would only take the second coupon and apply it to my cart.

I would recommend my customers to create multiple orders in this case. For those cases where the customer does create a single order with a mixed (discount and non-discount) products set, I would assume the easiest way is to either split the order or perhaps give no points on check-out and do a manual allocation of points to that customer for the non-discounted products.

So, short answer: if the code is modular enough and written in such a way that it checks by product, it'd be wonderful.. If it is not, I am totally fine to say: apply a coupon and lose any points for products in your cart.. :)

I've installed this mod and it's awesome... exactly what I'm looking for.

I would like to know if there's any way to add "advanced rules" to the points displaying in the sidebox. I have a number of order total modules (better together, group discount, etc.) and I have enabled advanced rules in Configuration > Rewards points so I get the correct total of reward points after discounts are applied. But they show the original number of reward points in the sidebox.

Do you guys know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, until you hit the checkout, none of the other Order Total mods are in play, so there is no way for the sidebox to know what they are and whether or not they will affect the final total.

@hem: did u happen to have any additional suggestions that might make it possible to provide no rewards points for discounted products? perhaps I could hard-code it somewhere in the code? Like if ot_coupon is applied, rewards = 0 or something as rough as that?

[swamyg1]

Does anybody have an informational page they put together about this Reward Points Program?

I'd like to put one up on my site to explain to people how it works...

Is there a way to display to the customer which products they can earn reward points on,

eg on the product listing it say earn 3 reward points on this product?

Thanks

Do you mean on each individual product? This is built in already. You have to follow the edits made to the template files for product_info.php.

Should do that "right out of the box" if you have have copied the templates/YOUR CUSTOM FOLDER/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php file correctly.
