Apply loyalty points

Redeem a patient's points against the current order at checkout.

Overview

If the attached patient has loyalty points and the org has a redeem rate configured, the Create Order screen exposes a Loyalty Points section. The cashier picks how many points to spend; Klu converts points to currency using the org's redeem rate and caps the redemption at a percentage of the subtotal. The deduction shows up as a line on the summary labeled Loyalty (N).

When to use it

  • Members paying down their balance with accumulated points
  • Promotional campaigns where points act as cash
  • End-of-year or milestone redemptions

How to use it

Video tutorial coming soon
  1. Attach a patient to the tab โ€” no patient means no points to redeem.
  2. Tap Checkout to open the Create Order screen.
  3. Find the Loyalty Points section (inside the service charges / adjustments area).
  4. The panel shows:
    • Customer total points โ€” the patient's full balance
    • Cart subtotal (with discount) โ€” current cart value
    • Spendable of subtotal โ€” the org's redeem rate as a percentage (e.g. 20%)
    • Points customer can spend โ€” the lesser of total points or spendable cap
  5. Enter the number of points to redeem โ€” must be less than or equal to the spendable cap.
  6. The summary updates with a Loyalty (pointsUsed) line and the total drops by the redemption value.
  7. Complete the sale as usual.

Tips & gotchas

  • The max redeemable is the smaller of: the patient's balance, or redeemRate% x (subtotal - discount). The org sets redeemRate in Dashboard settings.
  • Points are debited only when the sale is completed โ€” cancelling or reverting the sale returns them to the patient's balance.
  • Points earned on this same sale are credited after completion, so they can't be spent on the sale that earns them.
  • If the loyalty section doesn't show up, check that the patient is attached and the org has a non-zero redeem rate configured.
  • The iPad persists the loyalty points field across app restarts for the same order โ€” reopening an in-progress order keeps the redemption intact.
