Introduction
This rule allows customers to redeem earned loyalty points for a selected product at no additional cost by matching the discount value to the product’s price.
How do I set up a Free Product reward?
Select the Product:
Choose the product you want to offer as a free reward (e.g. Cherry red lip tint – $50.00).
Configure Points Redemption:
Enter the number of points required for redemption (e.g. 150 points).
Set the Discount Value to match the product’s price (for full discount). Partial discounts are also possible, but in the case of partial discount the real purpose of offering a free product reward is not fulfilled.
Add Internal Comment:
Enter a clear comment that explains the reason for the discount (e.g., “$10 discount for 150 points on Cherry red lip tint”).
Set Minimum Purchase Amount:
No minimum, or a specified minimum (e.g., $1) purchase can be set. It applies only to the selected reward product.
Allow Discount Combinations:
Choose whether this discount can be combined with other discount types (order, shipping, product discounts) as shown by ticked checkboxes.
Status & Notifications:
Set the rule to Active for customers to access it.
Mail notifications can be enabled to inform users of available rewards.
Redemption Location:
Decide if customers can redeem on cart or checkout via the “Manage” button.
FAQ
Q: What does “Please keep the discount value the same as the price of the product” mean?
A: For the selected product to be truly “free,” the discount must equal its current price. Partial discounts are possible but offer the product at a reduced price, not as a free gift.
Q: Can I apply a minimum purchase amount?
A: Yes, you can require customers to meet a minimum spend (applies to the product selected for the reward).
Q: Can this rule be stacked with other discounts?
A: Yes, simply check order, shipping, and/or product discount options to allow combinations.
Q: What if I want to remove the rule?
A: Click the “Delete” button in the upper right.
Q: Will customers get notified?
A: Yes, if “Mail” is enabled under Notifications, customers receive an email when the reward is available or used.
