Awarding points after a Purchase

2.      Tap Yes.

3.      Pass the terminal to the customer so they can enter their loyalty card.

Note:     If you have the optional external PIN pad, you will not be prompted to pass the terminal; the customer will respond to prompts on the external PIN pad instead.

The “Transaction approved/Please pass terminal back to clerk” prompt appears. The terminal begins printing receipts.

Redeeming points automatically

If your loyalty program has been set up for Automatic Redemption, points are automatically redeemed when a cardholder reaches the configured Reward Threshold Level, and a Reward Coupon prints from the terminal.

Note:     If a cardholder’s points balance surpasses the Reward Threshold Level multiple times in one transaction  (e.g. the Reward Threshold Level is 200 and the cardholder makes a $600 purchase with a Points Earning Rate of $1 = 1 point, meaning they have earned 600 points), the terminal will redeem points for only one Reward and print only one Reward Coupon. In the above example, the remaining coupons will be generated in increments of the Reward Threshold Level during subsequent transactions with the same card.
