We have had a very difficult time getting the Square Loyalty Points to be able to redeem online. I have put together a Youtube video hear showing the problem: CANNOT REDEEM POINTS ONLINE
In order to redeem points, you are supposed to finish the order and proceed to checkout. Once you get to the checkout and proceed with payment, it's supposed to allow you to redeem points. We cannot get the feature to work.

Hey @indianathomas
So Square loyalty does work with Square online, but the issue is categories.
Square Categories don’t sync over to Square Online, and therefore loyalty programs based on categories don’t work either. At least for right now.
My program was also category based, so I had to go in and instead add each item in my Square Loyalty rather than the categories.
It was a little tedious, but it worked, and my customers are happy.
Hopefully square will fix this soon to make categories work, but in the meantime, it’s a decently simple enough fix.

@pessosices could you explain that a little more. I’d LOVE my customers to be able to use their in store loyalty points when the order online

Hey @mulekickmag
@So square loyalty works with the square online system as long as your qualifications for earning or redeeming points are not based on categories.
You can set them up based on individual items, or $ amount spent, or per visit, or anything else - as long as they’re not limited by categories.
This is because the way that items sync over from regular square to square online, categories are not integrated. So loyalty programs based on category qualifications don’t work with square online.
Hope this makes sense!

@pessosices @Not exactly. I promise I’m trying to understand!! So I need to change the way points are redeemed? From anything having to do with categories? If based on individual items will it work?

@mulekickmag Thats right!
I used to have my program categories based, and had to change it to item based, and now it works!
You probably want to change both the way points are earned and the way points are redeemed.

I have the same issue. Our customers earn loyalty Point by each visit, not by category. And we offer $10 off for 10 loyalty points. Customers are able to choose this reward during checkout out but it will result in payment declined. And as soon as customers remove this $10 off loyalty reward they would be able to check out successfully. I have reported the issue to Square, hopefully they can get this resolve soon.
