Loyalty Levels Overview – View Settings
The Loyalty Levels screen is used to calculate the award levels for loyalty customers. It is possible to create and maintain multiple loyalty levels in iVend.
The levels can be set to award a greater conversion rate of award points to currency units as the customer climbs the loyalty status ladder, thus providing a greater reward to long term loyalty customers that are also frequent and regular valued shoppers.
In this subject we will be viewing the settings for information purposes. The setup of the Loyalty level(s) will be a function that will be performed at the Enterprise and usually by Head Office administration.
To open the window, in the Management Console navigate to and choose:
Operations > Loyalty > Loyalty Level. This will open the Loyalty Level Search screen – Select a level and press the [F7 View] button.
