Thread: Reward System

I have a client that would like to do a customer reward program (where you earn points for every purchase) type of thing. I was wondering if any of the versions currenty support something like this or if anyone has any feedback on trying this in the past.

Thanks,

Rugster

Sort of. AdNSF supports a "MicroPay" system, where "points" can be (via your modification) accumulated for every purchase. The customer's point total (MicroPay balance) is displayed on the Shopping Cart page, and can be used as a payment method.

Your mod would add points when the customer reaches the Order Confirmation page, and remove points when an order is refunded.

Out-of-the-box, the relation between currency and MicroPay is 1:1, meaning that a balance of 35.50 equates to 35.50 dollars (or pounds, euros, etc). You may want to mod this ratio as well.

Or just mod how may points you give for each dollar spent. That way all your code is in the confirmation step of the order.

Thanks for the quick responses. Would this require the source code?

You could get by with just modifying the code in the page so it would not require full source.

Thanks Buddy! Could you point me in the right direction to find some more info on Micropay. I found in the manual it talks about it as a payment method but haven't found much more than that.

Thanks again everyone,

Rugster

The MicroPay balance is in the Customer record in the field MicroPayBalance. You can implement your own calculation logic for determining how much you want to give for each order. You also might want to exclude items like gift cards from the order total when calculating the earned points.

Thanks again Buddy!

The code in which page? (Also, which page would need to be modified to deduct points for a refund?)

The code would go in the order confirmation page.

Hi Guys,

did you figure this out?

If so, would you mind providing an example of what was done in the order confirmation code to update the micropay balance?

I know things may have changed quite a bit since 2008, but anything would help.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
