1. Log In to Your Admin Panel:

   Open your web browser and go to the admin panel of your CS-Cart store. Log in using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to Promotions:

   In the admin panel, look for the "Marketing" tab in the main menu. Click on it to access the marketing and promotions section.

   Under the "Marketing" section, you'll find a subsection labeled "Loyalty Program". Click on it to manage loyalty programs.

4. Create a New Loyalty Program:
   • To create a new loyalty program, click the "Add Program" button. This will open a form where you can enter details about the program.
5. Configure Loyalty Program Details:
   • Program Name: Provide a name for the loyalty program (e.g., "Points Rewards Program").
   • Description: Add a description to explain the benefits and rules of the program.
   • Conditions: Specify the conditions that must be met for customers to earn loyalty points (e.g., minimum order total, specific products, etc.).
   • Rewards: Define the rewards that customers can redeem using their loyalty points (e.g., discounts, free products, etc.).
   • Points Calculation: Set how points are calculated for each purchase (e.g., based on order total).
   • Expiry Period: Optionally, set a period after which unused points will expire.
6. Save Changes:

   Once you have configured the loyalty program details, click the "Save" button to create the program.

7. Promote the Loyalty Program:
   • Make sure to promote the loyalty program on your storefront. This can be done through banners, pop-ups, and emails to inform customers about the benefits.
8. Monitor and Manage the Program:
   • Regularly review the performance of your loyalty program. You can track the usage of loyalty points in your CS-Cart dashboard.

Additional Tips:

• Communicate the Benefits:
  • Clearly communicate the benefits of the loyalty program to your customers. Let them know how they can earn and redeem points.
• Offer Incentives for Referrals:
  • Consider providing additional points for customers who refer others to join the loyalty program.

  • Use analytics to track how the loyalty program is impacting customer retention and sales.

Remember to save your settings after making any changes. This will ensure that the loyalty program is set up correctly on your CS-Cart store.
