How to set up Okendo reviews?

1. Log in to your Okendo admin account
2. On the left find Loyalty and click Rewards

3. Click Choose Loyalty Points

4. Turn on Send customers loyalty point rewards and from the Loyalty Provider dropdown, select LoyaltyLion

5. Configure your point values for incentivising your reviews. Okendo allows you to incentivise customers for improving their reviews by attaching pictures, videos or profile pictures. 

The points awarded for photos, videos, and profile pictures apply on top of the points for writing a review.

For example, if a customer uploads a review with a picture and Writing a Review awards 100 points and the Submitting a photo awards 50 points, the customer will receive 150 points in total.

Points can also be capped per order so orders with many products will not award too many points. 

Set Maximum amount of points per order to 0 for no maximum.

6. Amend the options and click Save.

7. Your new reviews generated through the mail after purchase will automatically award your customers with loyalty points in LoyaltyLion!

Customers must leave the review via the mail after purchase email, otherwise they will not receive points for this activity.

How to show the Okendo review rule on the Loyalty Page?

As the whole set-up for the Okendo review rule is done and managed on Okendo's side, the rule will not appear on the Loyalty Page. However, you can create a "fake" rule that will not be triggered in the LL background (as everything would be already set up in Okendo) by using our custom rule.

1. Log in to your LoyaltyLion account

2. Click on the tab Manage

3. On the left, find Activity rules and click Create new rule

4. Find the Custom rule

5. Set the identifier to something easy to recognize, so you remember what type of "fake" rule this is. Check in your Okendo how many points you give for leaving a review and enter it in the settings.

Set the approval method and limit to anything. This rule will not be triggered in LoyaltyLion, but in Okendo. We only need it for the display, so it doesn't matter what settings you have there.

6. Add a title, notification info, and a description to the rule

7. Click on Create rule

8. After a few seconds, the rule should appear on your Loyalty Page

Don't be alarmed if after a while the number of times the rule was triggered is 0 in LoyaltyLion. As the setup is fully done on Okendo's side, the rule will not be triggered in LoyaltyLion. We only create the custom rule in LoyaltyLion to showcase it on the Loyalty Page.

9. Create additional rules to inform your customers that they'll get extra points for posting a review with a photo or a video.

FAQ

Will customers get points depending on their tiers?

No. The integration is managed from Okendo's side, so there is no way to give customers points depending on their tier. All customers will receive the same amount of points for activities.
