      Creating Deposit Types

      Introduction

      Deposit types (credits, loyalty points) are entities that can be added to the customer’s account. They can be part of a loyalty program or used as a payment method in the BMI Leisure system

      Clients can collect them based on their purchase and unlock special promotions and free products. 3rd party integrations for cashless systems also use our deposit system to add the purchased credits on the customer’s card or account.
      Now with the achievements and gamification possibilities in our software, you can event link certain deposits to certain goals in order.

      Deposit kinds

      Deposits can be made in unlimited amounts and for a wide variety of applications so before we create them make sure you know what you want to achieve.
      Let’s go over the different kinds.

      • “Career Point” can be used to increase career levels in the BMI Leisure system, most commonly used to return on achievements.
      • “Credit” a regular credit that can be banked or redeemed for a product, mostly used for loyalty programs.
      • “3rd party credits” are credits used by 3rd party integrations. Here is an article on the available options.
      • “Money” is a money amount added to the membership as part of a monthly membership or a deposit by the customer or parents. The money value stays 1:1 and can be used for every product in the system as cash would do.
      • “Points” are comparable with credits and career points. They are mostly returned as a reward for achievements but are rarely of sufficient value to redeem a product with. Therefore customers can keep track of them and collect them to exchange them for eg. a credit.

      These are the kinds, you can create multiple deposits of the same kind but with different specifics like validity and period of usage.
