Points and Rewards Module?

[David M. Graham]

The sort order of the modules should not affect the outcome of the calculations.  Must admit I had that wrong at one time, largely due to the number of encounters I'd had with buggy modules over the years..

That said, I believe that points should be allowed to be awarded for cash purchase amounts only, or the gift voucher COUNTED as cash at the store owners discretion.  In short - points should be awarded to the purchaser of the GV, or the person who executes it, but not both.

BTW - this is rather made worse by the mixture of Gift Certificate and Gift Voucher functionality in the same module set.

As I have come to understand it, a GV is a GIFT from the store owner to a customer, and a Gift Certificate is a cash instrument used to pass cash value to a third party. 

These two things should REALLY have separate module sets and not share language entries.......

Would make issues like this easier to deal with in the long run....

Hi David, I'm hoping I understand your question?

From a test checkout of Point & Rewards on my site I got the follwing data at confirmation:

Discount Coupons:points: -$25.00
Sub-Total: $25.00
Points Redeemed: -$0.00
Total: $0.00

So from that I gathered that since the Coupons & Vouchers if enabled are before the points in the Order Total sort order, that the $25 coupon i used made the need for points redemption null and void. Thus the points redeemed as -$0.00 and does not affect the customers points in any way that I can see. I hope that is the correct answer with data to backup what you were asking Cya Soon!

P.S.
VERY GOOD QUESTION, I might add!

How are Gift Vouchers managed by this module??

I have only seen a few minor issues with the one from osC the combination of Gift Vouchers and points that results in a negative number is one im looking into myself... other than that the osC P&R is pretty solid and useable....

Is anyone using a points/rewards module that they are happy with?

I've been looking at a few but not really settled on one yet. I did consider the MyRewards one that's included with Cre Loaded but i would prefer to keep it in house rather that sending my customers info etc. to a 3rd party.

Any info would be great
