How points are earned

Customers earn points automatically on qualifying purchases based on the rate your manager configured (e.g., 1 point per $1 spent). Points are added when the order is completed and the customer is linked.

Check a customer's balance

  • The loyalty balance is visible on the customer profile.
  • The balance also appears during checkout when a customer is linked to the order.

Redeem points at checkout

  1. Link the customer to the order.
  2. On the payment screen, tap Redeem Points.
  3. The POS shows the available balance and its equivalent discount value.
  4. Tap Confirm.
  5. Points are deducted and the discount is applied to the order total.

Points expiry

Points expire after a number of days set by your manager. Expired points are removed automatically.

Guest orders

If a customer does not want to give their details:

Staff can assign a star rating to a customer to track service experience and behaviour. Ratings are internal - customers do not see them.

Assign a rating

  1. Open the customer profile or a completed order linked to that customer.
  2. Tap the star rating control.
  3. Select a rating from 1 to 5 stars.

The rating is saved immediately and visible on the customer profile and on the order screen whenever that customer is linked.

INFO

Ratings are for internal reference only. No automated alerts or actions are triggered by a rating.

Customer groups

Customers can be organised into groups for targeted offers and reporting. Groups are managed in the Admin Portal.

TIP

See Customer Groups - Admin Reference for setup instructions.
