Zen Cart Reward Points


Reward Points offers a different spin on Zen Cart discounting.

Instead of providing a cash discount at the time of purchase, Reward Points allows you to enable your customers to build up points that can be redeemed in the future. The system for determining how many points are accumulated per purchase is up to you.

This software is offered to my support clients only. Pricing details here.

Rewards Points on the Checkout Payment Page

Your customer sees their accumulated rewards points and the reward points that will accrue from this transaction on the checkout payment page.

Optionally, you may turn off redemption under specific circumstances while keeping the earning capability. For example, your policy could be, "Rewards may be redeemed on Monday only." Zen Cart Reward Points showing on payment page - no redemption


Optionally, you may set certain days to be have rewards multiplied. Zen Cart Reward Points showing on payment page - double rewards


When you use your rewards, they show up as discount line item above the order total on the checkout confirmation page. Zen Cart Reward Points showing on checkout confirmation page

Handling Offline Payment

If your store uses offline payment modules that put an order into Pending status (such as Check/Money Order), you'll have to decide how to handle reward points arising from such orders. Some possible options are:
  • Take no action; this is feasible for stores that have to do physical shipments and will be looking at orders prior to sending them out.
  • Put orders using Reward Points into Pending status for checking.
  • Disable the use of reward points for customers with Pending orders.
