Using Bonus Points

Your store customers can earn bonus points by purchasing products at your store. Every time an order is processed, a certain amount of bonus points is added to the customer's account. If the store is configured to accept bonus points as a payment method, a customer is given an option of paying with bonus points at the time of checkout (Figure 27).

If you choose to use this option and click on the 'Continue…' button to proceed with the checkout process, you will see the amount of bonus points required to pay the order in full and the amount of bonus points that you have earned (Figure 28). You can choose to use your bonus points to pay for your order in part or in full. Specify the amount of bonus points in the 'Pay by bonus points' field and click on the 'Submit order' button. If you do not have enough bonus points to pay for the order in full, or you have decided to pay only for a part of your order using bonus points, you will be redirected to a page where you can specify another payment method to pay the remainder.
