Square Loyalty: Can clients earn points on the dollar amount they tip as well?

[Themintdoor29]

Is there a setting for clients to earn points on the dollar amount they tip as well?

Great question, @Themintdoor29!

Currently, Loyalty points are awarded based on pre-tax and pre-tip amounts. This is a feature request, but we can pass this feedback along to our Loyalty Product Team. 👍

Let us know if you have other questions!

I have my Loyalty Program set to award one point per Dollar spent. Problem is, my tax is included in my price, so when a customer pays $7 for a pizza, the program wants to award only 6 points, because the "before tax" price is only $6.88 or so.

Is there any way to award points by "rounding up" to the next whole Dollar?

Or can I somehow award points including the tax?

I don't see anything in the settings that seems to allow me to do that.

Hi @FirebrickBread. 

There isn't a way to round up points to the next whole dollar. That's currently a feature request. If you want your customers to benefit from that additional point, you can always manually add the point to their loyalty profile.

If this changes in the future, we'll be sure to update here!

I figured out a workaround: I award one point per pre-tax dollar spent. My taxes come to about 8 cents on the dollar, so they earn a point for each 92 cents spent. That seems to work for now.
