Redeem points at сheckout

The Points at Checkout extension enhances the shopping experience by showcasing all rewards that customers can apply to their orders. Rewards are displayed in the following sequence:

  1. Redeemed rewards:

    At the top, customers will see rewards they have already redeemed and can currently use. These rewards can be applied to the order instantly.

  2. Available rewards:

    Below the redeemed rewards, customers will find a list of rewards they can redeem using their available points. Rewards for which customers have sufficient points will be active and ready for selection.

  3. Unavailable rewards:

    Rewards that require more points than the customer currently has will appear as inactive. This visually indicates they cannot be selected until the customer earns more points. If a customer has no points or active redeemed rewards, the Points at Checkout extension will not appear during checkout.

This organized display helps customers easily navigate their rewards and enhances overall engagement with your loyalty program.

NOTE: Only rewards that meet the conditions set in the Ways to spend rules (such as minimum purchase amount or specific collections) can be applied to the order.


Potential points indicator

This widget displays the number of points customers can potentially earn by placing an order. The calculation takes into account an active multiplier if the relevant settings are enabled and the customer meets the criteria. Only one multiplier will be applied during the calculation, following this priority order:

  1. Birthday points multiplier: Applied if the customer places an order on their birthday and the Birthday multiplier option is enabled in the Celebrate birthday rule. If all three multipliers are active, only Birthday multiplier will be applied.
  2. Boost Campaign multiplier: Applied if a Boost campaign is on and the Birthday multiplier is inactive.
  3. VIP Tiers points multiplier: Applied if the customer belongs to a VIP tier with an active multiplier and neither the Birthday nor Boost Campaign multipliers are active.

This feature helps customers understand their potential rewards, encouraging more engagement with your loyalty program.
