I raised this subject months ago but luckily the launch of our JetTec cartridges for the USA from Las Vegas has delayed any follow up.

I purchased several licences but delayed things as well waiting for what I considered essential items.
Does Soho ecommerce application now have a loyalty points scheme.
For instance with our inkjet cartridges more than 70% of current customers are on the maximum of 9% and return repeatedly.

Has the backend now been sorted out: by this I mean by example I use Phpauction-XL with the Stores module and it is all definable from a comprehensive admin section. Equally the ecommerce cart I use allows one to define the category of say taxes enter VAT and the rate of 17.5% and that's it.
I remember seeing a discussion about Europeanising Soho and wondered then why this admin basically tick boxes idea wasn't obvious or considered.

This function allowed me to rapidly (a month or so) set up the Las Vegas sales for http://aah-haa.com and incorporate the USA sales quite quickly.
Most of my prospective clients for Soho - or any other quicky screen design are hard nosed business types who value the marketing approach of loyalty discount.

Possibly some users could comment as to whether these items are now in place ?

P.S. Having entered my user name and pswd as per confirming email a few months ago this V-bulletin insists I don't exist ?

We currently don't have a loyalty discount, though this is an idea we intend to add. Unfortunatley this will not be till 4.72. This could be added if someone had a little php experience.

We did add a customizable tax which has been an extremly popular addition. Let me know if you would like to demo this. Along with this we added more payment gateways.

Our forums where reset about a month and a half ago, because of this everyone had to re-register.

Means I'll hang fire for a bit. I can explain in perl how its done but noway code it for Php.
Thanks for the comments.

Until then you could accomplish discounted through the secure users module. Basicly you could make a secure page and include the same products you are currently offereing, but only allow access to the customers you wish. You would have to recreate the products, maybe in a different category.

Cripes in my case for instance I have 250 plus cartridges in the UK and then a USA cart and a steadily increasing customer base of 1420 odd clients. I don't think so.

We will add this feature, but there are a few things we are currently working on before it such as auto-installation and Remember Me Secure SSL. After the above we will add this feature.

You obviously will have your own thoughts on this but mine works so:
There are 3 variables 1. point value 2. Spend per point and 3. Max #of points.

Points are added automatically whenever an item is marked as shipped. These are deducted on each purchase.
For 9% for instance: Point value is .50% Spendper point is 5.00 and Max is 18.
