What you can do

The extension allows store owners to

2. Define multiple point spending rules based on shopping cart options (SalesRule)
3. Add points to customer balance manually
4. Substract points from customer balance manually

Gaining rules

A multiple point gaining rules can be defined via intuitive interface very similar to Magento's promotion module. By defining a gaining rule you can choose how many points customer can gain based on products in his cart. See below sample scenarios which can be achieved via rules

Ex. 1

1. Create a new rule called "New order"
2. Allow customers to gain "+1 point" for each new order
3. Limit maximum points earned to 10

Ex. 2

1. Create new rule called "New order +5 bonus points for Puma shoes"
2. Allow customers to gain "+5 points" for each product from category "Puma shoes"
3. Limit maximum earned points to 10

Ex. 3

1. Create new rule called "New order +5 points for CPU I73360"
2. Allow customers to gain "+5 points" for product with SKU equal to "I73360"

Gaining rules can stack with each other, thus if we assume the 2 examples before customer can gain total of 6 points per product if product is in category "Puma shoes"

In Ex. 3 the rule will apply for a single product with particular SKU defined in the rule itself. Again rules can be combined to match several rules at once or none of them.

Spending rules

A multiple point gaining rules can be defined via intuitive interface very similar to Magento's promotion sales module. By defining a spending rule you can choose how many points customer can spend upon order. See below sample scenarios which can be achieved via spending rules

Ex. 1

1. Create a new rule called "New order 1$ Fixed discount"
2. Allow customers get a fixed amount of discount i.e $1 for every 1 point the decide to spend

Ex. 2

1. Create new rule called "New order 1% discount"
2. Allow customers get a 1% percent amount of discount i.e 1% for every 1 point the decide to spend

Spending rules can also be combined and defined depending on cart conditions such as:

1. Subtotal
2. Total items quantity
3. Payment method
4. Shipping method
5. Shipping country
6. Shipping region
7. Shipping postcode

and more.
