Q: How long does it typically take for data, such as an order, to sync from Ecwid to Marsello?
A: The data sync from Ecwid to Marsello is designed to be as close to real-time as possible, with a maximum delay of approximately 15 minutes. This ensures that the information, including customers, orders and products are promptly available in your Marsello account for effective management and analysis.
Q: If my Ecwid orders also sync into my POS account, will this award double points for the same order?
A: No, we have implemented checks to prevent double point rewards for the same order. For instance, if an order is made on Ecwid, the customer will earn points for their online order. If this Ecwid order is synced into your POS account, they will not earn additional points and vice versa. This ensures that customers receive points only once for their order, maintaining fairness in the loyalty program.

Q: Can customers stack discounts on Ecwid?
A: No, currently stacking discounts is not supported. When Marsello creates a discount code for Ecwid, it is configured to be non-combinable with any other discounts. This ensures that only one discount code can be applied per order.
Q: Is there a loyalty program link (URL) that I can share with my customers?
A: Yes, you can easily generate a link to your loyalty program by adding "/?loyal" to the end of your online store URL. This link will automatically open the loyalty widget, allowing customers to access and engage with your loyalty program. You can use this link in various ways such as adding it to navigation menu items, using it in CTAs on your website, including it in emails, or sharing it on social media platforms. By using this link, you can conveniently direct customers to your loyalty program and encourage their participation.
Q: The loyalty widget isn't displaying on my home page?
The loyalty widget is automatically installed on your Ecwid online store, but it won't appear on your homepage due to limitations. It will display on all other pages on your online store including product, my account and checkout pages. Currently, there is no workaround for this limitation, if there are any updates from Ecwid to allow this, we'll be sure to let you know once this is available.
Q. Is it possible to blacklist specific customer groups from earning points through Ecwid?
A. No, it isn't possible to blacklist specific customer groups from earning points.
