Rewards store - Alphauserpoints

I need to set up a store whereby all products will be paid for using points from Alphauserpoints. It is a rewards-based site, where people will "cash out" their points on products from the store.

I know there is the AUP payment plugin. But, I was wondering if there was a way to display all product 'prices' in points, rather than in a currency?

I can see where I can create a new currency, which I could do. But I am not sure how to tie this new currency (AUP) to the points a user accumulates.

Maybe I answered my own question, but here is what I did:

1) Created a new currency named "PACERewards Points" (PRP), with formatting to match USD
2) Set the default currency in Configuration to use this new currency
3) Edited the AUP Payment Plugin to use a default ratio of 1 point = 1 PRP

Does this sound reasonable?

Yes. That's indeed the solution.

This doesn't work for me. I'm frustrated as I just spent 4 hours reading through documentation and the forums, and I applied these settings exactly as indicated. It does not work. I read this extensively:

www.hikashop.com/en/support/81-hikashop-...userpoints-form.html


I keep getting "No payment methods found".


If one of you other mods can PM me, I will send over the info for the test server on which the BUSINESS version is installed.

Hi,

The problem is that you set the "Maximum (percent)" option of the AUP plugin to 0. So the system considered that you couldn't buy products with points.
Putting it to 100% allowed it to work.
Ideally, when the "Partial payment" option is off, that option should be discarded. We'll change that for next version. To avoid the problem for other users.
The AUP payment plugin is now displaying once you're logged in with enough points.

For the PayPal payment method: it's normal that you don't see it. You selected the currency USD for it. So it will only display in that case but your main currency is points. So it won't display unless you change the currency with the hikashop currency switcher module.

There is no method to automatically change the current currency (and thus the payment method) based on the products in the cart, but you should be able to do that by adding some custom code in the checkout view.

Thanks, Nicolas for clarifying this!
