Most retail chains and restaurants outgrow ERPNext's built-in loyalty within a quarter. The native Loyalty Program doctype gives you a single flat points-per-currency rule tied to a customer group, with redemption booked as a discount at invoice time. There is no concept of membership tiers with automatic promotion and demotion, no cashback or visit-based accrual, no birthday or referral mechanics, no win-back automation for lapsed members, and no fast lookup of a walk-in customer by phone number or a scanned QR card at the POS. Marketing teams end up running loyalty in a spreadsheet or a disconnected third-party tool, while the transaction data that should power it sits in ERPNext.

Retail Loyalty & Rewards Pro closes that gap as a proper Frappe app installed on your own bench alongside ERPNext. We build a retail_loyalty app with a clean module structure and dedicated DocTypes — Loyalty Member, Loyalty Tier, Reward Rule, Loyalty Campaign, Referral, and Loyalty Transaction (the immutable earn/redeem/adjust ledger) — all governed by ERPNext's standard permission model and role profiles so cashiers, marketers and finance each see only what they should. Accrual and redemption are driven by hooks.py doc events: server-side handlers on POS Invoice and Sales Invoice on_submit post points, cashback or visit credits according to the active Reward Rule, and reverse them on cancel so the ledger always reconciles. Tier promotion and demotion run through the app's business logic when a member's rolling spend or points balance crosses a threshold, with the change written to the member record and stamped in the ledger.

The member-facing and staff-facing surfaces are built on the same foundation. A points_balance and current tier are exposed through whitelisted methods over the Frappe REST API (@frappe.whitelist()), so your POS screen, a customer web portal, or a companion member app can look a member up by phone or scan a QR card and instantly show balance, tier and available rewards — then redeem at checkout in the same flow. Client scripts add the earn-and-redeem controls to the POS and invoice forms without forking ERPNext core. Campaign automation — birthday bonuses, referral payouts, and win-back offers to members who have not visited in N days — runs on Frappe scheduler_events (daily and hourly hooks) that evaluate Loyalty Campaign conditions and issue rewards or notifications in the background. Everything targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and the v16 line.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing here is a marketplace download you install blind. We start from a short scoping call, confirm your tier structure, accrual rules, campaign calendar and POS workflow in a written scope, then build your version of the app against that spec. You get the full installable source, deployment on your bench (or handover to your team), UAT on a staging site with a rollback plan, documentation and a training session, and a post-go-live support window. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on how many campaign types and integrations you need.
