Improved process for help request in self-service

(RTP-21311)

When a customer needs assistance in self-service and presses "Call for Assistance", they can now choose to either cancel or continue.

If they press continue, the customer can continue shopping (e.g. scanning items to cart) while waiting for the store staff to come and help them.
The "Call for Assistance" button will then change to a "Help is on the way" button. The customer can press this anytime to cancel the request for assistance.

The request for assistance will remain active up until:

  • "Help is on the way" button is pressed by the customer to cancel request.
  • Store staff approaches the customer, helps them, then presses  "Help is on the way" button to finish the request.
  • The receipt times out
  • or
  • Payment is completed

Automatic Coopay offline payment

(RTP-20373)

When Coopay payment triggers offline handling the interaction with customer and the payment security is improved. This is in POS done by customer scanning a separate QR code from the member app, with a lot more information than the original QR. This extended QR is validated by POS. Later on, when POS has yet again become online, the payment will be processed by Payment service, which in turn will try to finish the transaction automatically, without any user interaction via the Coop member app.

POS Configuration

New parameters:

'CoopayBackupQrMaxMinutes' (default 5) - The maximum time in minutes Coopay Backup Solution QR code should be valid.

'CoopayBackupSeed' (default empty) - The secret for Coopay Backup Solution QR authentication (for testing, use "tempSecret")

Barcode to open PLU list and sell items with automatic discount

(RTP-20221)

A new type of barcodes can trigger sale of an item through a PLU list with an automatic discount:

1. Bar code is scanned in SCO or manned POS. The barcode contains a filtering category for the PLU list, a discount percantage and reason code.

2. PLU list is opened and only specifically configured menus are shown. 

3. Customer picks the correct item which is then added to receipt with a discount and reason code.

No parameters needed in POS but solution only works with Self service PLU lists (in cashier or self-service mode).

Barcode formatting example:

222300000000022003001

First four digits is prefix telling POS which kind of barcode was scanned.

Next 13 digits is filter set up in Chain Web. The same number must be configured on the desired PLU list top menus.

Register new member via Vipps from POS in cashier mode

(RTP-19048)

When running EG POS in cashier mode it is now possible to register a new member via Vipps. Using the dynamic member search in POS, the cashier can search for the members mobile number. If the member is not found the cashier will be able to select Vipps as an onboarding method from the existing 'Member not found' dialog. Next the member is created in MemberService and Vipps is informed to start the registration process for the member with the given mobile number.

When the member has consented to sharing its name, address, email and telephone number as registered in Vipps they are redirected to EG AccountService where they need to approve the member terms. Upon approval the cashier will be able to enter the payment view to complete the sales transaction.

POS Configuration

New value/option in existing parameter list:

The parameter is only relevant when the selected member has not yet accepted the terms.

The second option is to press 'Cancel' and continue with payment regardless of the approval status.
