[Answered] Does the loyalty system offer a points system?

[WCCF]

Does (or can) the loyalty card (i.e. SambaCard) offer a points system (1 point per £1 spent) based on customer purchases?

Also, can customers be assigned digital bar-codes rather than physical swipe cards, to ease expenditure on our part?

Thanks

I know you can set products to be worth a number of points and do it that way, the points can be added up in a custom entity field.

You can, haven’t done myself but seen bar-codes used for user login and customer id, barcode readers outputting as keyboard into numberpad you would setup to look for sequence entered, so you would have a ‘customer prefix’ on the barcode number to identify that the following numbers are a customer id. Rules etc to handle the input.

Barcode Open Ticket Scanning To Cash Out Customer

Greetings, I would love to setup a barcode scanner that lets me scan a barcode on the customers ticket when they come up to the counter so that their ticket comes up on the screen as soon as the ticket is scanned. Would would be even better is the payement screen for that order to come up. Would love it if someone pointed me into the right direction. Thanks!

PS. Both these came up on a quick search

you can add a custom field such as Customer Number to the customer entity setup, then you can give them whatever number you like and create a barcode using that number (i use a free online barcode creator, just google it, its simple just enter the number you want as a barcode hit create and it will display the barcode, simply copy and paste and print out.

setup some actions and rules using number pad entered and you can automatically assign a customer to a ticket when you scan the barcode, this is what i have done. also i have given my customers another field called discount 10, if i flag this as Y and use some more actions and rules when i scan the customers barcode if their discount 10 flag is set to Y it will add them to the ticket and automatically deduct 10% from the ticket total
