I'm leaving it in beta at the moment- I've given it a good thorough testing but I welcome any feedback.

Just to let you know what the roadmap regarding this mod is- I'm looking to add at least two more Redeem Options:

1. The ability to redeem against certain products (Free Gift type mod). With Points Worth set against products.

2. The ability to email earned points to customers as vouchers.

Future ideas are the ability to reward frequent customers with a higher ratio- Possibly with a grading that means that customers that shop regularly get a higher number of points per purchase. Also a campaign option that allows shop owners to set "Double Points Days" and the like.

As always I'm open to other ideas. I'll get round to documenting fully the mod with the hope that others might write extensions for it.

Thank you for this great mod, I just have a small problem, how do I email a customer extra points?

Can you give me any more info on what you want to do here? I'm guessing a customer mod under Admin that will allow the owner to add more points to a customers earned points and send notification to the customer. Is this a manual process or an automatic process?

Hi there,

Thanks for this great mod! I have an edited tpl_product_info_display file and i don't want it to be overwritten when I install this module. Im just wondering if you could please tell me which comments I need to add to my own file.

When I checked the tpl_product_info_display from your mod, the following is the only one I found different.

I assume this is the only one I need to add to my own tpl file? Please correct me if im wrong or if I missed something.

Thx

Just want to add, is this mod compatible with Easy Sign Up and Login?

still no redeem functionnality ?

Zapisto:

The redeem functionality is in the checkout process. However it will not appear if you have earned 0 points (as opposed to having points pending).

Just change the status of one of the orders from Pending and you'll see that you have Points Earned and the Redeem box will appear.

You are correct, that is the only change.

I haven't tested it with that mod. I'll have a look and report back.

Please do as my log in page was messed up after installing this.

Also, are there other ways to tell when someone has earned points other than the sidebox? For example, in the account page?

Thx

Yes I would like an admin mod so that I can have more control over the customers points, can add extra for posting on our forum or uploading to our gallery (we are a scrapbooking business) and for competitions etc I thought it was already in place with this mod but maybe I misread?

Does anyone know if this module will work with Google Checkout? I know you can't redeem points via Google Checkout. I'm wondering if the customer checks out via Google Checkout if it will award them their points properly. I have both Google Checkout and a regular credit card processor on my site and would need it to award the points no matter which they used. I can specify that they must checkout via the local zen cart (credit card processor) to redeem their points.

Thanks
Ken

Ken, it should work as the point system is separate from the method of payment.

What version are you using- v1.21 is available in the other thread. Also did you try the Reward Point Diagnostic?

Thank you very much hem to fix my problem!!!
You are my hero!

I have a question... is there a way, to limit to only one category where customers can redeem their points?

Or at least, don't allow 1 or 2 categories?

:blush:

Hello,

Being a new Zenner I am setting up a store and would like to use the Rewards mod.

I don't quite understand the install notes.

The notes say the following:

1. Unzip the zip file into your Zen Cart root folder (Will this cause an issue with the current "admin" folder in the root?)

1.1 IMPORTANT!!! If you have installed v1.12a or lower then delete includes/auto_loaders/config.reward_points.php (Don't need)

2. Copy all the files in folders named 'custom' to your corresponding custom folders. (I have not created any folders named "custom" or any other name)
   Sorry for the "beginner" questions, just really getting to know Zen Cart.

Thank's for any heads up in advance!

First you should create a DEMO shopping cart where you can test each new mod and change prior to installing it into your live cart.

Second you should definately create a custom template where your edited files go so you do not over write the main files.

My question is. How do I change the BOLD text in the box to regular text?

This is a cool mod just installed it and it seems to be working ok. After you install the SQL Script make sure you clear your cache file before viewing the features.

i am curious about the installation instructions of the following:

2. Copy all the files in folders named 'custom' to your corresponding custom folders.

what exactly does this mean? If I am using the classic template do i rename to classic?
