The new UltraCart Loyalty System allows you to setup a loyalty program where your customer(s) can earn points based on the purchases they make. Your customer can then use these points to receive discounts in the form of coupons or gift certificates on future purchases. The configuration has three basic areas for now: Tiers, Rewards, and Campaigns. We will go over each section below in more detail.

To setup the Loyalty progam, navigate to:

Panel
