# Rewarding purchases

> Award Smile points for each retail purchase Subtotal collects.

In the Subtotal Dashboard, navigate to your [Smile integration](https://dashboard.subtotal.com/integrations/smile) and click `Add action`.

Choose `purchase.created` as the event, give the action a name, optionally restrict to specific retailers, set **Points per dollar**, and set a **Start date**. Subtotal will only reward purchases made on or after the start date — this controls how much historical purchase data gets sent to Smile when a customer first links their account.

Click `Create`. Subtotal will now award points in Smile for each qualifying purchase it collects, using the action name you set as the transaction description in the customer's Smile activity feed.

<Warning>
  Subtotal computes the point value for each purchase as `ceil(items_subtotal × points_per_dollar)` — where `items_subtotal` is the sum of `price × quantity` for each item Subtotal collects from the receipt — and posts the resulting integer to Smile's `/v1/points_transactions` endpoint. Taxes, shipping, and other fees are not included. One points transaction is posted per qualifying purchase.
