System update for customer type and point calculation

Why we have new update?

Customer purchased via POS or the single sign-on on online store treated as Guest in our app so these customer cannot earn point event though they can redeem point at POS and logging in via single sign-on without an account.

In order to solve the problem, we need to allow customers to configure allowing guest member to earn points or not.

Please check out this guide before you decide to update the system. Contact our support team on livechat if you need any help with the update.

Current workflow

After your install the app, customers from Shopify will be automatically synchronized to the app under Member and Guest type

  • Member: Existing customers who have logged into their account on your online store. They can receive points from all reward programs setup in Joy app.

  • Guest: Existing customers who have not logged into their account on your online store. They can not receive points from all reward programs setup in Joy app untill they log into their account and become Member.

New workflow
