Adjusting customers' points balances

Introduction

There may be times when you have to do a manual adjustment of any of your customers' points balances. Whether you're adding points because they're awesome or subtracting points on a cancelled order, making adjustments to their balance can be done in a few easy steps.

Individual adjustment

  1. From the Dashboard, go to Customers.
  2. Click on the account that you want to adjust.
  3. Under the Loyalty Points section, click Edit balance.
  4. Enter the points manually on the given field.
  5. If you intend to deduct points instead of adding points, enter a negative number.
  6. Optional: Enter a reason for the adjustment. This will only be seen by you.
  7. Leave a comment that will be visible to the customer. You can use the default comment or create your own by choosing Custom comment.
  8. Once you are satisfied with your settings, click Adjust Points Balance.
  9. Wait a few seconds for the confirmation that the customer's points were updated.
  10. The updated loyalty points will then be visible in the customer's account.
