Just a few of the ideas we have had of how you can use ePoints in your business straight away and I am sure you can think of many more
How to set up ePoints
ePoints will allow you to add 'points' onto a members profile which can then be used to purchase products.
For example a member can purchase 1000 ePoint. This would be worth £10. Then if you purchase a product which costs 100 ePoints this would leave me with 900 ePoints to use going forward.
Step 1
To setup ePoints you will go to the settings
Then to Products
Now setup a new product
Please select product type as ePoints
Then enter the price for the ePoints.
1 ePoint is equivalent to 1p - this cannot be changed.
If you want to setup the price to £10, this will give the customer 1000 ePoints.
Step 2
Under advanced options you can see how many ePoints will be given.
Step 3
Now you will go to the settings, products, click through your products
Under the advanced options tab please select all product to be purchasable with ePoint.
Step 4
A member can now add in ePoints then use this to purchase products. Below is an example where a member purchased 1000 ePoints, and purchased a product costing £1 with the points.
TOP TIP
Using ePoints can become a very effective way of giving your customers rewards which actually cost your business much less but have a higher value to your customers.
For Example
ePoints to buy protein shakes will have a much higher customer value when compared to the actual cost price of a protein shake to the club.
