Set up your loyalty program to allow customers to earn loyalty points on in-store purchases.

Add Smile tile to POS grid


The Smile loyalty program tile is required for earning & spending points in POS.

Enable POS points earning


Smile allows you to choose between earning points in-store only, online only, or both. POS features need to be enabled before customers can earn points in store.

  1. From Smile Admin, navigate to Settings > General > Platform > Reward Rules.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. Select Online and in-store or In-store only (POS).

  4. Click Save.

Add ways to earn points in store


After enabling in-store loyalty, you need to define how many points customers will earn relative to their purchase.

  1. From Smile Admin, navigate to Program > Points.

  2. Click Add ways to earn.

  3. Select Place an order.

  4. Configure how many points the customer will earn.

  5. Click Save.

πŸ’‘ Important: "Place an order" is currently the only earning rule compatible with POS.

If you're selling in-store and online, "Place an order" applies to both sales channels. It's not possible to scope ways to earn to a single sales channel.

Any points earned in-store can be spent online, or vice-versa.

ℹ️ Note: If a customer uses the same email address for in-store and online purchases, Smile will automatically link all activity, points and discounts to the same customer profile.

The customer has a single profile which is shared between in-store and online.

Earn points on in-store purchases


After setting up in-store points earning, customers will earn points on their purchases when a customer profile is added to the cart and the profile contains an email address.

⚠️ Warning: If no email address is entered for the customer in cart, Smile won't award any points on the purchase.

The item(s) being purchased must also not be excluded from earning points.
