Points escrow

A points escrow allows you to wait for a defined period before you credit points to members after they complete a transaction. Specify the number of days that you want to hold members' points in escrow and automatically release the points after the escrow period ends.

Koalla Clothing has a points escrow for each of its points sources, shown in the image below.

Suppose that a member buys several thousand dollars worth of clothes online, earning a considerable number of points. Koalla Clothing wants to deduct those points from the point source so that the totals in the point sources are accurate and up-to-date. Yet Koalla does not want to deposit those points in the member's point accounts until the return period has passed. Placing the points in a points escrow solves this problem. Points are deducted from the point source when a purchase is made, but not credited to the point account until the transaction (including the return period) is complete.
