Dear All DPs, I would like to ask whether anyone know about these requirements: (1) shopping checkout is integrated with point collecting system, example, $1 = 1 point (2) Buyer can use his/her collected points to redeem the product that list in the site (3) Each product listings come with the Price listing (show in my local currency, MYR), number of points for redeem from Merchant A, number of points for redeem from Merchant B, and so on, which means the points for redeem are different from various merchants. For example : Product A : Price : RM 100.00 Merchant A Points to redeem : 5,000 Merchant B Points to redeem : 5,500 Merchant C Points to redeem : 10,000 (Will be able to add more merchants in future) Note : So, the buyer may have different Merchants points, example Buyer A have 5000 points of merchant A, 6000 points of merchant B etc. SO Buyer A only can use 5000 points of merchant A claim the Product A, or use 5500 points of Merchant B. The reward point can be either manually or automatically awarded to the buyer, upon purchase, or manually given by the Administrator. (4) The shopping cart have affiliate program integrated too, if possible, can be integrated with the reward point system as I describe in the above. I research around, ECJC (http://www.joomla-host.co.za/site/) have loyalty system, Alphauserpoints (http://www.alphaplug.com/alphauserpoints.html), VM Affiliate, but I not sure whether all these are able to meet my requirements. My plan is to use Joomla 1.0.x and Virtuemart. Anyone can let me know ASAP whether the above features is feasible or anyone are able to provide me a component for that? Thanks in advance!
I've purchased the virtuemart reward points extension and I found it complete and very integrated in joomla/virtuemart contest. It has a plenty of options and bonus activities rules anyway it is very simple to setup and use. The best thing is the support, they answer to the email the same day you contact them, it is so important to develop the website. Basically the extension lets customers to earn points from order total amounts or product points, or a combination of both. Many bonuses let customers to increase points during birthday periods, promotional periods, from their order quantity, points amount and so on. The cool thing is when you change points to cash money. It uses a "metaphore" with casino chips, so you can decide how many points to change, click on the result chip and insert it in the cart. It's one of the best extension I ever purchased.
virtuemart reward points extension is ideal for your needs. I have lots of clients that doing the same thing. WM Affiliate is good if they want to earn money. If you need help(I am a VA and Joomla Developer), pm me or get my skype username on my profile
