Reward exchange rates
Reward exchange rates determine the number of points that are earned based on the order amount, and the value of the points earned. Different exchange rates can be applied to different websites and different customer groups. If multiple exchange rates from different websites and customer groups apply to the same customer, the following rules of priority apply:
Exchange rate priority
1: Applies to specific website and specific customer group.
2: Applies to all websites and a specific customer group.
3: Applies to a specific website and all customer groups.
4: Applies to all websites and all customer groups.
When converting currency to points, the number of points cannot be divided. Any currency remainder is rounded down. For example, if $2.00 converts to ten points, points are earned in groups of $2.00. Therefore, a $7.00 order would earn 30 points, and the remaining $1.00 would be rounded down. The monetary amount of the order is defined as the amount which the merchant receives, or the grand total minus shipping, tax, discounts, store credit, and gift cards. The points are earned the moment when there are no non-invoiced items in the order (all items are either paid or canceled). If an Admin user does not want to allow customers to earn Reward Points for canceled orders, those points can be manually deducted from the Manage Customers page.
