It is not possible to override.

Hi Nicolai,

What would be the solution in this case?
I think this is a reasonable request from the customers if they want to use LoyaltyPoints combined with LivePricing.

Don't you think?

Thank you,

Adrian

It probably is a reasonable request, but we do not have the feature nor have plans to implement it as this is the first time we have this request.

You might be able to create a currency called "Points" and then you have all options to do what you usually do with prices.

Hi Nicolai,

As usual, my requests seem reasonable but nobody seems to need them apart from our customers :)

I am not sure about the implications to handle it through the "Points" currency. Does seem like a potential solution but not an elegant one, to be honest.

Any way we can get rid of the current approach of having PointPrices?

I am thinking specifically about having a discount instead and let the user decide how many points will be spent on the order, which means we will always have a 1point=1currency unit relationship.

From what I have seen briefly, the new Discounts are not based on providers but rather on Extension of some existing providers. A bit limiting if you ask me.

And I also noticed that the LiveDiscount is handled through the old discounts module using a specific provider. Does this mean that you will keep the old discounts module alive for a while? I mean, can I safely develop a DiscountProvider for the LoyaltyPoints without being afraid that it's not gonna be supported in a few months?

Thank you,

Adrian
