Merchants have the ability to manually adjust a customer's points balance for a variety of reasons from leaving a great review on Facebook or Yelp, to thank a customer for their feedback, to apologize for poor service or late delivery.
How to adjust an individual customer's points balance
1. In your Marsello Admin, go to Customers and search for the customer by name or email address
2. Select the customer by clicking on their Name
3. This will open the customer profile. From the drop down button under Customer actions, click Adjust points balance
4. Enter the number of points you would like to add or remove from the customer's points balance.
To increase the customer's points, enter the number of points you would like to add to their balance e.g. 12
To decrease the customer's points, enter a minus sign before the number of points you would like to remove from their balance, e.g. -12.
5. Choose to send the customer a Points Earned Email (Optional).
If you would like to notify the customer of their updated points balance:
Select the tick-box next to Send points notification email to customer?
Add a short message in the text box to notify customer why their points balance was updated.
6. Click Apply points adjustment to confirm the points adjustment.
The customer's points balance will automatically be updated. The manual points adjustment will display as a new line on the customer's activity feed.
📝Note: If you choose to send a Points Earned Email, the customer will be notified of their new points balance.

If you have a specific list of customers that you want to tag from your POS/eCommerce platform or previous email marketing tool, please get an export and then follow the below steps to format it ready for the Marsello importer.
1. Start a blank spreadsheet with two columns:
The First Column can be set up with one of the following identifiers:
- Email
- Vend customer ID
- Shopify customer ID
- ExportId
- Mobile
- VendCustomerCodeThe Second Column is required to be Points.
2. Enter the unique identifier (for example, the below screenshot is using the Marsello ExportId) of the customers' who you want to tag with your custom tag.
If you do not wish to add any points, ensure that the points column has 0 next to each identifier.
3. Copy the two columns to your clipboard.

2. Click Actions in the top left corner

Add imported points to customers' points balance
If you have your points column set as 0, no points will be added.
