Loyalty and promotions

Retail loyalty software for every till

Part of iVendNext POS, the selling app of iVendNext, the open retail platform.

Retail loyalty software and promotions that work the same at every till. Customers earn and redeem points, members move up tiers, and promotions and coupons are priced once and applied on a counter till, a tablet and a phone alike. The cashier sees the customer at the sale, and the loyalty or marketing platform you already use can connect to it.

Loyalty

POS with customer loyalty built in

Every till in every store reads the same balance, so a member is the same member in every store.

Earn and redeem at the till

Customers earn points on what they buy and spend them at the till. The cashier enters an amount and the till works out the points, so the points shown are the points spent.

Tiers, conversion and expiry

Run one tier or several, set how many points make one unit of money and when points expire. A tier can also cap how much a member spends on one sale.

Your own plans and cash back

Run your own plans with cash back instead of points. Each member moves to the plan their spend reaches, and a till key shows the cashier the member's plan and what reaches the next one.

The right member at the till

Ask for a one-time code texted to the customer's phone before their points, credit or account are used, for the customer groups you choose.

Promotions

One retail promotion engine for every till

Set a promotion once in iVendNext Desk, the back office, and every till applies it the same way. The phone calls the same engine that prices the counter till, so an offer behaves the same on the floor as at the counter.

  • Buy one, get one; buy X, get Y; a percentage or an amount off; a fixed price for a set; offers on the whole basket.
  • Set each offer for the stores, customer groups and dates you choose, with volume rules and exclusions.
  • Limit an offer to once per customer or a number of times per store, counted across every till together.
  • Automatic promotions keep applying when the network drops, from the offers the till has loaded; an offer with a usage limit waits for the connection.
  • A discount beyond a cashier's limit goes to a manager, who approves it on their own phone.
  • A staff rate with a monthly allowance, and item groups you keep out of it.

Coupons and campaigns

Coupons, gift cards and campaigns

Retail promotions management software for the offers that bring a customer back.

Coupons

Scan or type a coupon or a voucher serial. A sale can carry several coupons, and a promotion can issue numbered coupons whose use is tracked store by store. Your own rules, such as first purchase only, are checked when the cashier presses Pay.

A first-purchase coupon refused for a returning customer, with the reason.

Gift card on spend

A sale over your threshold earns the customer your own gift card, spendable after a hold you set. A cancelled sale, or a return that takes the spend below the threshold, voids the cards it no longer earns.

Lucky draw

A spend-and-win campaign: every amount spent at your tills is one entry. Count entries at any time, then draw the winners and reserves fairly, one prize per customer, after the last day.

For finance

Points that keep the books straight

Points and cash back are money you owe your customers, so iVendNext keeps them in a ledger and posts them to the accounts you choose.

  • A return takes back the points or cash back its sale earned.
  • Cash back can wait out your return window before it is credited.
  • Every redemption is checked against the member's live balance at the moment of payment.
App library

Loyalty and promotion apps in the App library

Add the parts your stores need. Your partner or your own developers can copy the apps built with the partner kit and change them to fit.

Connect anything

Keep the systems you already run

Your ERP keeps the books and iVendNext runs the stores. Customers, sales and payments from every till go to SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite, Sage X3 and many others, and to web stores such as WooCommerce.

Any other system connects too: a loyalty or CRM platform, a marketing tool, a customer app. It links through the REST API or the event feed, or your iVendNext partner builds the connection with the partner kit.

Questions

Retail loyalty software questions

What is retail loyalty software?

Retail loyalty software rewards customers for coming back: it keeps each member's points or cash back, and members spend their points at the till. In iVendNext it runs inside iVendNext POS, so every till in every store sees the same balance.

Which platform keeps loyalty balances right across stores in real time?

iVendNext keeps one balance for each member and every till reads it at the moment of payment. Each redemption is checked against that live balance, so every store sees what the member has left.

Can I run an offer for one store or for all of them?

Yes. Each promotion is set for the stores, customer groups and dates you choose, and its usage limits count across every till together.

Can I keep the loyalty platform I already use?

Yes. A loyalty, CRM or marketing platform connects to iVendNext through the REST API or the event feed, and your partner can build the link with the partner kit. The cashier still sees the customer at the sale.

Do promotions still work when the network drops?

Yes. Automatic promotions keep applying from the offers the till has loaded. Offers with a usage limit, coupons and point redemptions wait for the connection, because they are checked against the live record.

Who sets it up, and what does it cost to start?
