# Award points for placing an order
Configure the Place an order way to earn — points per dollar, earning conditions, product eligibility, active dates, and membership tier eligibility.
**Place an order** awards points for every dollar customers spend. Find it in **Loyalty Program → Points → Ways to earn**.
The Place an order settings. The Summary panel restates your configuration in plain language.
#### Points value
Set points for every `1` spent in your store currency. The currency comes from your store settings.
Set a **Display name** and **Description** for storefront loyalty widgets.
#### Earning conditions
Points are calculated after discounts. Choose whether points apply to:
* Discounted items via Roadmap or Shopify discounts.
* Orders containing loyalty point redemptions, where the customer [redeemed a reward](/loyalty-and-rewards/points-and-ways-to-earn/ways-to-redeem-points-overview.md).
* Shipping fees.
#### Product eligibility
Choose one option:
* **All products earn points**. This is the default.
* **All products earn points except** selected collections.
* **Only selected products earn points** from a collection.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Collection exclusions only catch products in that collection. Exclude checkout discount-code items through the discounted-items condition.
{% endhint %}
#### Active Dates
Set a **Start date and time**. Select **Set end date** for time-boxed offers.
#### Membership tier eligibility
Leave this empty for all customers. Select tiers to restrict the rule to those members.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can create several **Place an order** earners. When more than one applies, customers receive the most generous one.
{% endhint %}
