Spending Rules

Spending Rules are much simpler than earning them since they only define the rate, at which points can be converted to discounts.

Note

Points can be spent when a customer uses a special block. It will appear on both the Cart and the Checkout pages when the following conditions are met:

  • Options Marketing -> Reward Points -> Settings -> Display are enabled when;
  • At least one Spending Rule is defined and activated;
  • Customer has enough points on his balance;
  • The Customer and his Cart fits in the conditions for Spending Rule(s).

To create a new Spending Rule, go to Marketing > Promotions > Reward Points > Spending Rules and press the button Add New. The rule edit page that will appear is divided into three sections, they are:

General Information

  • Rule Name - the type of the rule. It is used for internal purposes only.
  • Display Name - this gives a vivid explanation to your customers. It can be found in your client's account, thus bringing to your clients, valuable information, or pieces of information on the rule (way) to spend the points in your store.
  • Is Active - rule status.
  • Active From, Active To - the period the rule will be active.
  • Websites - choose which website the rule is applied to. You can set up multiple websites for a single Magento installation, each with its own IP address and domain.
  • Customer Group - the necessary groups that makes the customer qualify to apply for this rule.
  • Stop further rules processing - if enabled, no other rule or rules can be applied.
  • Priority - the order that will be used in sorting the various rules available before each can apply.

Conditions

Spending Rule applies only on the Cart as a whole, so the conditions in this section look like that found in Cart conditions. Refer to Cart Earning Rule section for detailed descriptions of them.

Actions

Applies the rule only to cart items matching the following conditions. Refer to the Cart Earning Rule section for detailed descriptions of them

Actions

This section defines how points are converted into a discount.

  • Points spending style - this defines the basic strategy used in converting points.
    • Flexible - allows spending points to be in proportion to the For each spent X points. For example, for the rule where a customer gets a dollar($1) discount for 10 points, the customer can spend 15 points and get a $1.5 as his discount.
    • Fixed - allows the customer to spend points strictly for multiplication of the For each spent X points. For example, for the rule where a customer gets a dollar($1) discount for 10 points, the customer can spend only 10 or 20 or 30 or more.
  • For each spent X points - defines the minimum number of points that can be traded for discounts. If Flexible strategy is used, then it is used on proportional bases.
  • Customer receive Y discount - defines the amount of currency that should be traded subject to the number of points available (property above).
  • Spend minimum - the minimum number of points that should be spent on one Cart. It is used mainly for Flexible strategy. The percentage value limits the minimum discount that a customer can apply for per sale.
  • Spend maximum - this is the maximum number of points that a customer can spend on one Cart. The percentage value limits the maximum amount of discount that a customer can receive per sale.

Note

To allow a customer to spend their points, you must create at least one spending rule. Otherwise, our spending blocks on Cart and Checkout pages won't appear.
