    I think there's a token to tell the customer how much the credit is, no?

      Re: Converting Sebenza Points to Customer Credit

      I was hoping that there would be some way to export all Customer points that are in the Sebenza data, then import them into the new Customer Credit. It's looking like everything may have to be copied over by hand?

      Displaying the token is the easy part

        Export it out of the tables - match the Customer ID to the customers table and you'll have the customer login.

          Again it's sound like a rather daunting task to undertake. For example one customer has 81 entries, some are automatic entries from an order, some are Admin Updates, then there are Points Redeemed entries but there is no total point balance. I suppose that's a short coming of the Points Redemption module. Will all of these transactions be able to be imported back to the customer? Does the Customer Credit system have the ability to create Notes? Will the notes from the Points Redemption module be able to be imported?

            I've done it... once. But I wouldn't recall all the steps unless I was in the db again. Did you ask Scot if there's any export function he wrote? From the data I had imported just the credit amount - not any details on various orders for points earned, etc. Another time I did it from a "bad" store to a new one going with CSSUI and used the data to import existing points.

              Unfortunately, Scott isn't providing any sort of support assistance for his modules.

                I don't think that the Customer Credit features was meant to be a direct replacement for "Rewards" modules, rather a platform for either new modules or extensive manual template coding and manual processing. Its something we looked at briefly and may circle back to soon. (Probably not soon enough for you.. :( ). But if you are still looking for a solution by the end of the week, drop us a line with an outline of what see happening with the conversion.

                  Probably not. One of my client's sites is using Bill's coupon module solely for the reward points feature. And it works in v9.
