Integration with EG cloud gift card module
The new EG cloud gift card module has been integrated with EG POS. This makes it possible to
- Sell plastic and digital gift cards
- Recharge gift cards
- Refund money by issuing a gift card (when returning items)
- Check balance
- Pay by gift card
- Search for gift cards by mobile number
The cloud gift card solution have a maintenance web based User interface accessible by using AD login.
The maintenance User interface can be used to change valid-to period, correct balance and also to change owner, resend and re-give digital gift cards.
The gift card grid can be used to filter on any column and then to export the result to excel to be able to create reports.
Chain Web 2.10.81 is required to be able to configure using Cloud gift card service.
| Configuration in EG cloud gift card service: |
|---|
Open the gift card settings menu:
Set the desired values. The tenant prefix can be set to any unique value identifying the environment. For example RetailerName_test or RetailerName_prod.
The gift card number length is prefix+ length. So 16 digits in the above example. |
Shelf location in POS for web orders
The functionality to display shelf location and number of parcels for web shop orders in POS has been implemented. The shelf location is based on the last digit in the external order number and the first letter in the customer name. The same information is also shown on the printer delivery receipt.
When parameter ShowShelfInfoForWebOrders is activated, the following dialog is shown in POS when fetching a web order to POS.
Integration with multitickets from Vensafe kiosk
The integration with Vensafe automats for selling e.g. tobacco items now handles multitickets as created / printed in the Vensafe kiosk (tower). Benefits and behavior in POS are:
- Vensafe multiticket may contain several different items in stead of one specific item, with different quantities.
- Items in ticket will, when ticket barcode is scanned in POS, be put in the receipt, if they are still available for sale.
- If some or none items are no longer available a message is shown to user, and a reduced quantity of items are put in the receipt.
- Ticket content is updated accordingly in Vensafe.
- If ticket has a status different from "in progress" when scanned in POS, e.g. cancelled or expired, a relevant message is shown to user.
- If ticket content has not been changed by POS after scanning the barcode, a message is shown to customer (customer screen or self service) telling to use the printed ticket from Vensafe kiosk to collect items from the automat.
- If there has been done changes to ticket content by POS, e.g. due to adding extra items or some items are no longer available, a new Vensafe ticket will be printed after payment, with updated information about items / quantity.
- This ticket will then have to be used to collect items from the automat.
- When adding Vensafe items to receipt manually by e.g. PLU list, and chosen quantity is not available, a message is shown telling how many items are actually available, and asking user if number of items should be reduced accordingly.
