Introduction

What is a loyalty program?

Loyalty programs are structured marketing strategies designed by merchants to encourage customers to continue to shop at or use the services of businesses associated with each program.

Loyalty programs encourage shoppers to return to stores where they frequently make purchases. Some of the incentives may include advanced access to new products, additional discounts or sometimes free merchandise.

How to configure a Burn Run

It will be possible to schedule a new Process (through the Process Request window) to execute the Burning Process periodically. This process will read the configuration of each Burn execution from a new Burn Run window.

In this window the user is able to introduce as many rules as he wants to apply. These rules can be the same or not and they are ordered by a priority. As we know, each Burn Rule is a custom algorithm, so, we can not review each configuration here.

The Burn Run window has:

After this configuration the user needs to set as ready the Burn run using the button Set as Ready.

There is a button in order to create a new Burn Run copying an existing one. This button is Copy configuration.

After process the Earn Rule the user can launch Burn Run processes:

Other related windows

In these processes of Earn and Burn we need to take into account other windows that are basic for the flow:

This window shows the historical data of earned points by a customer subscribed to loyalty program. Some bullets of the window:

Burned points

This window shows the historical data of burned points by a customer subscribed to loyalty program. Some bullets of the window:

Fields:

WebPOS Loyalty Subscription Icons

We have icons of different colors to indicate the loyalty program subscription type or status of the customer. These icons follow some rules:


Subscription status Icon
If the customer is not subscribed to any loyalty programNo icon
When customer is subscribed to an exclusive loyalty program which is inactive (inactive or expired)*IconLoyaltyCardExclusive-Error.png
When customer is subscribed to several programs, and all of them inactive (inactive or expired)*IconLoyaltyCard2-Error.png

How to start a subscription

Subscription can only happen for an already existing customer (editing customer), not when creating a new one. If we try to add a Loyalty Program editing or creating a customer a pop up will appear:

According to that, we start the process searching a client:
