Select and charge a pre-printed voucher offer

Select a voucher offer that allows you to identify and charge a pre-printed voucher. A pre-printed voucher is a gift card or something similar that can be individually charged. It is being identified by a voucher code. You can scan the voucher code with a barcode scanner or add the card code manually.

Prerequisites

Your company uses the KNISTR™ integration, with which vouchers can be pre-printed.

Procedure

Venduo POS > Sales > Select store and pay desk > Tab CASHPOINT

1. Click the Find offer by nam... search bar in the upper left part of the tab.
   The cursor is displayed in the search bar.

   If the barcode was successfully scanned, the voucher code is automatically added to the Voucher code field. The cursor is placed in the Amount field, which has a default value that you can overwrite.

5. Enter the amount in the Amount field. Note that this amount will be added to any amount already on the voucher.

6. Click the [SAVE] button.
   The voucher with its newly created amount is added to the bill list.

Select an offer with single scan

The single scan feature allows you to treat each offer in the bill list individually, for instance, to apply an individual discount.
In general, if you select the same offer more than once, it is displayed in the bill list as one single item with the corresponding quantity. This means that if one offer is added more than once to the bill list, an entry with the quantity 1 is not displayed in the bill list.
Optionally, you can activate the single scan feature before you select the offers. By using it, each offer is listed as a single line item in the bill list, even if it is the same offer.

Prerequisites

• There is no offer in the bill list yet.
• Offers for POS are created, see Manage offers for POS.

Procedure

Venduo POS > Sales > Select store and pay desk > Tab CASHPOINT

1. Enable the Single scan toggle in the bill list on the right side of the pay desk interface.

   The single scan works from the moment it is enabled. It does not apply backwards to offers that were already on the bill list at the time of activation.

   Even if the single scan function is active, you can edit the quantity of offers manually in the bill list, see Edit the quantity of a product.

2. Select an offer, see Select an offer.
   The product is listed in the bill list.

3. Select the same offer again.
   The same product is listed in an own entry in the bill list.

   

Add a return to the bill list

Record a return, so that a negative quantity is posted in the bill list, and you can hand over the money to the customer. You can add multiple different offers as well as the required quantity of a single offer.

Note that when you edit a return, all posts on the bill list must be returns. You cannot combine purchases and returns in one bill list.

Prerequisite

• Offers for POS are created, see Manage offers for POS.
• Your company uses the Allow negative quantities setting. For detailed information, see Allow negative quantities.

Verify the age

Some offers are not suitable for children and young people, for example offers such as alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, or energy drinks. When you select an offer, Actindo checks whether an age verification is necessary before the offer is added to the bill list.

Prerequisites

• Offers for POS are created, see Manage offers for POS.
• An age restriction for the offer is defined, for example 18 or 16.
• The Display age rating setting is activated. For detailed information, see Display age rating.

Venduo POS > Sales > Select store and pay desk > Tab CASHPOINT

1. Select an offer that requires an age verification.
   The Age verification window is displayed.

3. Click the [AGE OF BUYER CONFIRMED] button if the customer is allowed to buy this offer, or click the [CANCEL] button if the customer is too young to buy this offer.
   If the customer is old enough, the offer is added to the bill list. If the customer is too young, the offer is not added to the bill list.

Add a product option

There are products where the buyer has the option of customizing them. If a store has the appropriate technical capabilities, this could be shirts with optional flocking, for example, or photos that a customer can have printed on mugs or other items. In these cases, a specific service is associated to an offer. This service is called a product option. It is optional for customers and can be purchased additionally.

Prerequisites

• Offers for POS are created, see Manage offers for POS.
• Product options have been associated to the offers for which a specific service is offered as additional option..

Procedure

Venduo POS > Sales > Select store and pay desk > Tab CASHPOINT

1. Select an offer.
   If a product option is associated to the offer and your store offers this service, the Choose options window is displayed.

   

2. Present the various options to the customer.

   • If the customer does not want to use the service, click the [SAVE] button.
     The Choose options window is closed and the previously selected offer is added to the bill list.

   • If the customer wants to use the service, select the required service in the Choose options windows. Depending on the service option, additional information might be required, for example, if a customer wants to have his/her name printed on a shirt. In this case, a field for adding this information is displayed that you can edit.

     

     Click the [SAVE] button.
     The Choose options window is closed. The offer, the product option and the additional edited information are added to the bill list.
