Loyalty/Rewards Program?
Anyone know if there is an existing way to implement a loyalty/rewards program in a Kentico 7 ecommerce site? I searched forums, docs and marketplace and did not see anything. Just curious if anyone knows of something I could not find?

Thanks,
Matt

RE:Loyalty/Rewards Program?
Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no such a module in Kentico right now. However, could you please describe some use case scenario or more detailed description of the expected behavior? Maybe it will be possible to achieve it by combining existing modules and features.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:Loyalty/Rewards Program?
Hi juraj,

Think this would be a useful addition to the kentico e commerce module and shouldn't be toohhard to achieve I wouldn't have thought.

A customer purchases from my store and I offer them 1 point for every 100 pounds they spend in the store as a loyalty bonus. When they shop a second time they can use the points they have earned (or choose to bank them for later) and get money off the order depending on how many points they have (e.g 1 point gives 1 pound off).

Using an event handler and a custom table (customer selector/number of points) then subtract/add this number i would imagine this would easily be replicated. But would be nice to have as standard functionality.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

Thank you for the details. In this case, have you tried using the customer credit feature? It is not fully automatic - but with little customization this can be achieved.

Best regards,
