How to create a Loyalty Program

The loyalty program in Helix is a marketing strategy designed to encourage customers to continue purchasing or engaging with your clinic by offering rewards, discounts, or other incentives in exchange for their repeat business.

🌐 Overview

The Loyalty Program helps your clinic build patient loyalty and encourage repeat visits by offering automated spending rewards.


With this feature, you can:

  • Automatically convert spending into loyalty points.

  • Exclude selected service types or specific services from earning points.

  • Convert earned points into patient credits for future use.

Once active, Helix automatically handles all point calculations and credit conversions—no manual work required.

🧭 Navigation

Path: Control Panel → Patient Billing → Loyalty Programs


🧭 Step 1: Create a Loyalty Program

  1. Click ➕ Add (top-right corner).

  2. Fill in the program details:

    • Program Name – Give the program a clear and descriptive name (e.g., Helix Rewards 2025).

    • Exclude Service Types / Specific Services (optional) – Multi-select any services or service types that should not generate loyalty points.

    • Conversion Factor – Define how points are calculated based on patient spending.

      • Example: If every AED 100 spent earns 1 point, set the conversion factor to 0.01.

  3. Click ✅ Submit to save.

    • The program becomes active immediately and begins tracking points on all eligible invoices.


⚙️ Step 2: How Loyalty Points Are Earned

  • When an invoice is created and paid, Helix automatically calculates the loyalty points based on your conversion factor.

  • Excluded services or service types do not generate loyalty points.

  • Points accumulate automatically in the patient’s file as they continue to spend.

  • Once converted, these points appear as credits that can be used to pay for future invoices.


📊 Example of Loyalty Calculation

💵 Patient Spend (AED) ⚙️ Conversion Factor 🎯 Points Earned
100 AED 0.01 1 Point
500 AED 0.01 5 Points
1000 AED 0.01 10 Points

📂 Step 3: Viewing & Redeeming Loyalty Points

  • Once loyalty points convert to credits, they are visible in the patient’s record.

  • Navigate to Patient File → Financial History → Credits to view them.

  • These credits can be directly applied to invoices during billing.

  • All loyalty conversions and applications are automated by Helix—no manual input required.

 


🧩 Step 4: Managing Loyalty Programs

  • Only one loyalty program can be active at any given time.

  • To adjust the conversion rate or excluded services, open and edit the existing program.

  • To replace it with a new one, disable or delete the old program first.

  • Excluded services will always remain outside the loyalty calculation, even if billed.
