Bonus System
Bonus products
Bonus products are rewards: existing products of your catalogue that customers can order with points — either exclusively with points or alternatively with money.
For rewards to appear in the storefront, Enable bonus products must be switched on in the configuration. There you can also define a minimum cart value, the slider settings and a header image for the rewards list.
Overview
The list shows the bonus products you created, with the columns Name, Active, Valid from and Valid until. The order in the storefront follows the order of this list (default sorting); customers can additionally sort by price or name in the storefront.

When using Use redeem point factor from plugin settings, a redemption conversion factor must be set in the configuration — otherwise the calculation yields no point costs.
In the storefront
- The rewards list lives at
/bonus-productsand is reachable through the bonus system menu in the customer account. Hide bonus products menu entry removes it. - Optionally, available rewards are shown as a slider in the cart and in the checkout.
- If the balance is not sufficient or the minimum cart value is not reached, the customer gets a corresponding hint.
- Customers who are not logged in are told that they have to log in to buy with points.
Alternative: every product as a reward
If every product should generally be payable with points, enable Enable bonus product feature for every product in the configuration. You then do not need to create individual bonus products; the point costs are derived from the redemption conversion factor.
