From Admin cockpit you can create a new reward campaign, but with inactive status. In that case campaign will be not displaying on a storefront until it’s status will be change to active. Till this time you can edit all information related to this campaign e.g. description, photo, conditions etc.
In OL user guide please find chapter “Creating reward campaign” (p. 177). Here you will find description of reward creation process.
6. If the customer used available points to redeem a coupon, what would happen to the customer level?¶
Active Points
As a customer, upon purchasing goods in a store (or other activity e.g. scanning a QR code), points will be earned. (Increase in active points)
The customer could use the earned points to redeem coupon or other rewards before the active points expired.
However, this use of points action (Decrease in active points) will not affect the customer “Level”.
If the customer used up all the active points (Active points = 0) for coupon, the customer level will not down grade. (will remain in current level)
Active points will return to 0 upon: - the customer used up all the points; - all the points expired.
Accumulated Points
Level is the accumulation of earned points. It represents how the customer has achieved.
Each level entitled the customer with specific rewards or benefits. (e.g. 20% off on every purchases.)
Upon the accumulation of earned points reached a certain amount, the customer level will be upgraded.
7. What is Open Loyalty approach for admin access right? Any preset admin account type?¶
Single level access in current offering.
8. Admin wants to create birthday offer campaign which target for user who born on each months. How could the admin define those birthday segment for each 12 month?¶
In current offering it’s not possible to define a date range.
OL standard gives an option to create a segment with customers whose have a birthday e.g. in 30 days from today. Segment will be recalculated dynamically - it means that customers will be associated and dissociated from a segment as they have a birthday in specified period.
9. When customer visit an offline store, coupon may be used during transaction. Is there a way to view records of used coupon per POS?¶
In current offering there is no option to see records of used coupon per POS.
From All reward campaigns view you can see how many times this reward was used by customers in general (sum from all POSes and website ) . For example, if you have “percentage discount code” you will be able to see in “Used by customers” column how many times this reward has been redeemed (delivered and used)
