How to programme fobs to a person so when scanned a discount is applied?

[Charvey]

I am looking to programme many fobs to individual members so when it is scanned a discount is applied how would I go about this safely, if not this then the same sytem but a barcode instead for a fob.

FOBS are much easier to work with, last longer, and you can buy them pre-programmed on the Net with 5-10 digits either random or sequenced. Asking for FOBS to be pre-programmed in your required sequence adds a little to the cost.

FOB readers can also be purchased quite cheap in fact cheaper than a bar code reader that has a much lower reliable read! I had my readers sensitivity increased for my FOBS (Key Tags) so Members can swipe themselves onto a Ticket.

All you need to work this into Samba is:

1. Custom Field on Customer to contain the FOB Number;
2. Automation to Save to FOB Number 1st Time (or re record) - UPDATE ENTITY ACTION.
3. Automation to Detect a FOB Read during normal POS operations - NUMBER PAD VALUE ENTERED EVENT.

Use your search I have written plenty about this subject.

Oh you also need to read the Tutorials posted on VIP Discounts as well

Unfortunately it is way past midnight, and I just finished a long week job so cannot stick around.
Good Luck.

You need 1 Action and 1 Rule to get the Entity to load.

Name: Load Customer
Action Type: Change Ticket Entity
Parameters:
Can Create Ticket: True
Entity Type Name: You need to put your entity type here
Entity Search Value: [:Customer Number]

Then you need a Rule:

Name: Load Customer
Event Name: Numberpad Value Entered
Execute Rule If: MATCHES

Numberpad Value GREATER 10000000 (youll need to change this to a number smaller than your lowest card number)
Numberpad Value LESS 9999999999999999999999 (again this’ll need to be a number lager than your largest card number)

ACTIONS:

Load Customer:
Customer Number: [:NumberpadValue]

and

Refresh Ticket:

Youll need to create this action, pretty simple…

In the Entity, make sure you add Customer Number as a custom field, this is where you will put the keyfob number. (when you create a new customer, you just scan the fob after selecting the Customer Number field)

Then after that youll need to implement a VIP system, one I created today will be perfect for this.

Simple VIP system using Price Definitions and Entity Fields

I’m glad it took me ages to work this out myself, its taught me a lot more about samba. With a bit of help from a couple of others, it all works flawlessly. Ive set this up so you can have as many VIP levels as you like. Just update Price Definitions, fill in the Price in the price list editor, and youre already away! Please be aware that in my Pictures I have my entity name set as SquareCard Customer Card. this is because that’s the name of the entity ill be selecting the data from. In this t…
