We continue to answer questions of our users. One of the frequent questions – How to organize bonus points redemption on the client web site using results from PointLoaylty system?
Current version of the system does not have any functionality to support points’ redemption with prizes to program members. We believe this functionality is not required. Every business is so unique that it is almost impossible to come up with a generic solution convenient for everyone.
On other side it is fairly easy to organize the system of rewarding customers with gifts and prizes.
For example:
If a program owner want to create following reward system
- for every 10 earned bonus points give customer an option to choose a gift from list A.
- for every 1000 earned points – gifts from list B.
How to organize this system on your site?
1. Your customer enters your site. You request the amount of bonus points he earned from our system (API – http://www.pointloyalty.com/web20_details.html).
2. Assume he has 45 bonus points.
3. On the page designed to choose gifts you display only items from list A. Items from list B remain invisible.
4. If the customer selects some gift – call our API and reduce amount of his points by 10 points. After choosing 4 gifts, items in list A also become invisible.
Why we don’t want to automate this process?
We don’t know following:
- what design you choose for the page with gifts
- what should happen in your system after customer gets a gift
- do you want to display unavailable gifts to your clients?
- etc
This functionality despite looking simple will be individual for every client.
Of course we will help you with integrating our system with your software; we will take into account all your requirements and answer all your questions. We can also implement this task for you on individual base.
