Managing Shop

Once gamification is enabled on your network, members can already earn points for any actions they perform on your network. However, earned points cannot be used as virtual currency until you've set up your Shop. You still need to add items and group these items in categories for your Shop to become fully operational.

To Add Item Categories to Shop

The first thing to do is to add item categories to make it easier for your members to search and shop for items.

To do this, follow the steps below.

1. Click Manage my Network from your Profile menu.
2. On the Manage my Network page, click Reward Center, then Shop.
3. On the Manage Shop page, click the Categories tab.
4. Click the Category button.
5. On the Add Your Own Category window, enter the category name and description, then click the Add button.

The category gets added to your list of categories. You can then start adding items to the category.

To Add Items to Shop

After you've added item categories, you can start adding items to your shop. To do this, follow the steps below.

1. Click Manage my Network from your Profile menu.
2. On the Manage my Network page, click Reward Center, then Shop.
3. On the Manage Shop page, click either the New Item button on the right or the Add Item tab.
4. Enter a title and description for the item, select a category from the list, then enter the price in zCoins, and the number of items to be added to your Shop. 
5. Optionally, you may add tags, a sponsor, and a special instruction that will be displayed when a member checks out the item from the Shop. You may also add the special instruction to the item description by checking the Add to item description as Special Instruction box.
6. Click the Upload Image button, select the item's image from your computer, then upload it to the Shop. Alternatively, you may drag and drop an image of the item from your computer to the window.
7. Check the appropriate Label on item card box for the item.
8. Click Publish to add the item to Shop. If you are not yet ready to publish the item to Shop, click Save. You can then come back to the item to edit and publish it at any time.
