How do I Issue Loyalty Cards?

Summary

You may set up a customer loyalty scheme within Platinum which allows you to give customers a loyalty card which they can use to earn points and subsequently redeem those points as discounts on future purchases.

Customer Loyalty is a separate module which must be installed on your Platinum system. Contact your Platinum dealer or our sales team on 0116 230 1500 or by using our website sales contact page for more information.

Customer Loyalty in Platinum

The Customer Loyalty module currently works with:

• Stock Control's "Point of Sale".
• Sales Order Processing.

See How do I set up a Customer Loyalty Scheme? for information on setting up the scheme.

Issuing a New Card

Point of Sale

If the customer does not have a loyalty card, you can register one to them whilst processing the sale:

• Before pressing [Checkout], take a loyalty card which has not yet been given to a customer and scan it using the barcode scanner. You will be presented with the "Register Loyalty Card" popup window.
• Once the card has been registered, the card will be used with the sale and you can complete the sale in the normal way.

Sales Order Processing

If the customer does not have a loyalty card, you can register one to them whilst editing the sales order.

• On the "Details" page of "Sales Order Properties", press <Alt+F3> to open the "Accept Loyalty Card" popup window.
• At "Card Reference", take a loyalty card which has not yet been given to a customer and scan it using the barcode scanner.
  • If the card has not been registered, you will be presented with the "Register Loyalty Card"
• Once the card has been registered, the card will be used with the sales order to earn loyalty points.
