Rewards Points
Overview
Rewards points are points that can be used to pay for invoices.
For example, a product may have rewards points assigned to it, and after purchasing that product, the earned points may be used to pay for an invoice.

Products tab, and select theEdit tab, or begin creating a new product - Assign rewards points to the product, and specify an expiration date for the points
