You can create vouchers as "Deposits" on the system.

When you sell it to a customer, you will do a reversal as a deposit is naturally negative.

When they then redeem the voucher, it will be as a credit on the bill.

Loyalty - Not even PnP can get it right - so all you clever people - give us some ideas.

The issue is this :

1. Points needs to be assigned to each product. - problem : If a customer has 15,000+ items - how often will he need to go & check these points? A Wizard - like our re-order wizard will be the only way.
2. How will the points be awarded? Will it be a flat qty of points per sales & what value will these points have? R1 for every 1,000 points? or 100?
3. If a product is on promotion - how is the points affected?
4. If you are selling on a different sales channel - ditto.
5. If a product is sold as part of a bundle (Family deal consisting of Maize meal, sugar, coffee, coke) how is the points of individual items affected?

With 18,000+ customers & all the different rules of business - we would like to develop a system to cater for all - not just a few.

Almost 2 years later & we are ready for some new development...

As you might know, 4POS does customer loyalty in the following way :

1. Create a new sales channel for eg. VIP customers.
2. Set the percentages for this sales channel under the pricing group rules.
2. Create a debtor & assign this sales channel to that debtor. This could be a group account EG. Pensioners or Schools or...
3. Ensure this customer's terms are marked as COD to enforce cash sales only.
4. Do the sale & then press F6 - account sales to activate the new channel pricing.

Easy & brilliant.

We welcome inputs from you to ascertain whether it is viable to develop a point system or is this sufficient.

What we need to consider is the following :

1. Web based or in store only?
2. Points / percentages should be linked to the costs & selling. No point in cutting your bottom line.
3. From what amount of sales should the points be applicable.
4. Points to be shown on the till slip.
5. How to redeem - as a discount / value voucher?
6. How must promotions on these products effect the points? Or, promotion items do not have points?
7. How to identify the customer - Cell number / card / bio metrics (Fingerprint)?

Carwash scenario. After x carwashes customer gets the next one free
Have to accumulate and store the number of carwashes per customer.
Found a solution. Add 1 cent to customer's account payment. When balance shows 7 cents customer gets 8th carwash for free
