How do students earn reward points?

Students earn points for money spent, for family referrals, for social media posts that use your hashtag, and from bonuses and badges staff award. You set how many points each one is worth in Points Calculation.

Can families use points to pay for classes?

Yes. When enrolling on your website as an existing customer, or through the parent portal, families enter how many points to redeem and the amount due drops by their value. They pay any remaining balance with their usual payment method. Staff can also redeem points for a student when adding them to a class.

Do you have a rewards store students can shop in?

Yes. Students and parents open the Store, see their points balance at the top and add products to their cart. If their points cover the total, no other payment is needed. If not, they pay the rest by card, and an invoice is shown for every order.

Can I sell print-on-demand merchandise in the store?

Yes, through Printify. Generate a token in your Printify account, then choose Configure Printify under Store, Sales and Settings in Calimatic, paste the token and pick your store. Your synced Printify products then appear in the Calimatic store.

Do reward points expire?

Points expire only if you set an expiry period. In Set Point Expiration, enter the number of days after which earned points expire, for example 90 days from the date they were earned.

How do I track points across students?

Each student has a points history showing earned and redeemed points and a current balance. The Loyalty Program report under Reports, Families/Students lists spent, unspent, manual and converted points by franchise and date range, and the Student Points report breaks points down by type.

Give students points for what they buy, the families they refer, the posts they share and the badges they earn. Families spend those points on class fees or in your store, and you see every point earned and redeemed.

Reward points in Calimatic are a loyalty program for your students: they earn points for money spent, family referrals, social media posts that use your hashtag, bonuses and badges, and families redeem those points for money off enrollments or for products in your store. You set how many points each action is worth, what a point is worth in dollars and when points expire.

Staff see every student’s points on the Gamification page, can award or redeem points by hand with a note, and can open each student’s full history of earned and redeemed points. Parents see their children’s points in the parent portal, and franchise admins export a Loyalty Program report for their location.

How it works

1. 1
  Decide what earns points
  Go to Students, then Gamification, then Points Calculation. Set how many points students earn for each dollar spent, for example 3 points per $1. Under Family Reward Points, set the points the referring family gets and the points the new family gets when a referral code is used at enrollment.
2
Reward posts that use your hashtag
Set points for Facebook video, image and text posts, Instagram video and image posts, TikTok videos and public YouTube videos, and the hashtag students must use. Parents connect their child’s accounts from the portal. When a YouTube video is public and uses the exact hashtag, the points are added automatically once the video is validated.
1. 3
  Create streaks, badges and bonuses
  Under Manage Items, create streaks, named bonuses with a set number of points, and badges with their own point values for achievements and milestones. Staff award a bonus to a student from Manual Points, and teachers can view and manage a student’s points from the menu on their Student Board.
2. 4
  Set the value and expiry of points
  In Points Conversion, choose how many points equal a dollar in your store, for example 3 points = $1. In Set Point Expiration, enter the number of days after which earned points expire, such as 90 days from the date they were earned.
5
Let families spend their points
Parents see each child’s total earned, redeemed and available points in the portal, broken down by where they came from. They redeem points for money off when enrolling on your website or in the parent portal, or spend them in your store, where points cover the order first and any balance is paid by card.
