Flexible setup

Merchant definable and flexible options enable you to determine value of points for collection and their redemption value, as well as whether points are earned against orders/part orders paid for with existing points. The merchant can also define how long points are valid for.

NOTE: Orders are still output with actual value rather than discounted rate (making accountancy much easier).

Reward your customers

Increase customer engagement and engender loyalty with no effort on their part. No convoluted membership, sign up or complex terms and conditions.

Easy management

Using tradeit’s Call Centre/MOTO tools you can manually add or remove points from a user’s account enabling you to offer credits for service issues, or debit points if items are returned. Points can be redeemed against any future orders.

Simple payment

Points can be used as part-payment on orders. Users can define how many of their saved points to use on any subsequent order.

Spend & save

Set spend & save targets for customers to incentivise them to spend more than in a previous time period by defining a percentage increase to reach. Rewards for reaching the target are merchant definable including discount off their next order, free loyalty points, or an upgrade to the next tier of any membership giving them better pricing, or a better service. Balances, targets, discounts etc... are all displayed in their my account.

Simple interface

Points value is displayed against each product, and the basket value during checkout. Users can then redeem any saved points on purchases. Account balance is displayed in the user’s My Account and on the payment page where it can be fully or partially redeemed.

User-friendly points system

Points are automatically applied to a user’s account every time they spend and can be debited during checkout for full or part payment of an order.

Promotional opportunity
