AutoCount Plugin: Bonus Point Module User Guide
Understanding AutoCount Bonus Point Module
Rewarding customers encourages loyalty, repeat purchases, and stronger customer relationships. The AutoCount Bonus Point Module lets businesses configure loyalty programs where customers earn and redeem bonus points based on purchases. Points can be calculated by item count, item value, or full invoice total, and redeemed at checkout — either in POS or accounting.
What Is The AutoCount Bonus Point Module?
A built in loyalty rewards system that integrates with both AutoCount POS and AutoCount Accounting. It tracks customer points earned from purchases, forms rules for how points are calculated, and lets members redeem points for goods or discounts during sales or invoice processing.
Why This Matters?

Increase customer retention by offering repeat purchase rewards
Encourage more spending through points based incentives
Track engagement with flexible member and redemption reports
