What happens when customers buy blacklisted products?

If the customer's purchase includes a product that is in the blacklisted category, the customer will not earn points for that particular product.

In your Marsello admin, under the customer's profile, this will show as a line item in the points calculation.

📝Note: If the customer has other products that are not a part of the blacklisted collection, the customer can still earn points for those products.
