### Step 3: Configure the Rule
**Configuration options vary by earning type. The example below shows the settings available for the most popular** e**arning type: Make a purchase.** 



1. 
Set the **Earning name** and **Status**.
2. 
Choose how points are calculated:
* **Fixed number of points**: Customers earn a fixed number of points for each purchase made, regardless of the order value.
* **Increments of points**: Customers earn points based on how much they spend. For example, if you set For every $100 spent = 1 point, a customer who spends $200 will earn 2 points, and a customer who spends $500 will earn 5 points.
* **Apply to products**: Select the products or collections that customers can get points after buying.
* **Exclude products**: Select the products or collections that are excluded from this point-earning way.

3. Configure order settings:
* Choose when customers receive points: when order is** Paid** or **Fulfilled**.
* Choose when to withdraw points from customers: when order is **Canceled** or **Refunded**.

### Step 4: Save and Test
1. Click **Save**.
2. Run a quick test by creating a test account or placing a test order.
3. Confirm that points are being awarded correctly.

| Pro Tips
* Combine **Sign up** and **Make a purchase** to encourage customers to join and shop again: earn **100 points for sign up** and **50 points per order**.
* Customize your way to earn points to fit your store. Check out: [**How to create a custom way to earn points.**](https://docs.bloy.io/en/article/how-to-create-a-custom-way-to-earn-points-yaviz3/)
* Encourage **VIP Tier** customers to make more purchases and earn more points by setting up a **VIP Tier**. Check out: [**How to set up VIP Tier**](https://docs.bloy.io/en/article/how-to-set-up-vip-program-njhlmj/).

### Troubleshooting
* If customers do not receive points, check if the BLOY **Points Program Status** is turned on. Check if the customer has joined the program and the earning action happened before or after the BLOY **Points Program** was enabled.
* For review rewards, make sure your review integration is connected and authorized.
