Set up and manage Client loyalty points
In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up a point-based loyalty program that allows clients to earn and spend points measured by their engagement with your business.
How Loyalty points work
You can set up loyalty points to reward clients for their engagement with your business. Clients earn points for various interactions and can exchange them for rewards that you create, such as discounts and free items.
Once Client loyalty is enabled, ways to earn points are automatically set up by default and can be edited to fit your needs.
Enable loyalty points
- From the main menu on the left of your screen, go to Clients.
- In the left menu panel, select Client loyalty to view and manage your points settings.
- Next to Loyalty points, click on the Enable buttom to allow clients to earn and spend points.
Once enabled, clients will start earning points based on your master point settings and preset ways to earn points.
Edit ways to earn points
