How customers use a reward

When a customer is on a sale, the cashier taps their name on the cart, then Change customer if the guest card opens, to see the rewards under Spend points on. Rewards they don't have enough points for are shown but can't be chosen. The cashier taps one and the discount comes off the sale. To undo it, tap Do not use the reward.

While a reward is on the sale, the cart button shows Reward · and the reward's name. One reward can be used per sale.

When points are taken

Points come off the customer's balance only when the sale is paid. A sale that's abandoned or declined costs them nothing.

Rewards take an amount or a percentage off the sale. A free-item reward isn't available. Email info@surgeups.com.
Customers hear about their points and rewards from the cashier, so keep reward names short and easy to read out.
