Here, you can find the summary of the accumulated Loyalty Points in Magento.

 

Loyalty points accumulation and redemption is configurable in Magento via third-party Extension, called MageWorx – Reward Points extension for Magento.  The accumulation of the points is driven from the POS / Store and not from Magento. The points will only get accumulated when the payment is made (realized in iVend) or the products are delivered, whichever occurs earlier. The same reward points can be viewed in iVend Management Console -> Customer -> Loyalty points.


The Loyalty Reward Points Extension for Magento can be downloaded from the Magento website. For more details on the MageWorx extension, you may refer to the URL pasted below:
