How to: Adjust a Redemption Token in GINESYS POS
When a customer wants to redeem points accumulated on his Loyalty Card, it is done using a Redemption Token. This article describes how to use a Redemption Token.
Alert
Note: Unlike a Gift Voucher or a Credit Note, a Redemption Token is a virtual MOP, completely in the system. It has no physical existence.
But it can be used while billing at the POS, making a deposit or even at the time of refund.
Note: Suppose a customer buy some items from a store without loyalty benefit. After buying he gets some loyalty benefit like loyalty discount. If he wants to make a Adhoc Return (without bill) of that item, he will get the credit note of discounted amount of the items based on his loyalty discount rather than the buying amount.
Pre-requisites
- Only a card with valid loyalty points can be used to redeem points.
- Redemption Token, as a mode of payment, needs to be assigned to the POS. This is not user based, but a site based permission.
- Redemption is always made against a bill.
Step-by-step guide
The process is divided into the following steps:
While making Payment, select the Redemption Token option.
Click on the Redeem button. The Redeem Loyalty Points window opens.
