Capturing customer information allows customers to earn loyalty rewards, and enables you to email receipts and coupons to customers. Each new sale is assigned to the default "walk-in customer," but you can easily assign a sale to a specific customer by looking up a customer record at any point during the transaction.

On the POS, up to 25,000 customers are stored locally on the point-of-sale device. If your customer list for the site is over 25,000, the remaining customers are stored on the cloud, based on the date of their last visit. When searching for customers on the POS, you can tap the option to search more on the cloud option.

Assigning a customer to a sale allows you to:

• Track customer purchase history.
• Know customer preferences.
• Market to your customers using the integrated email features in the Back Office.
• Track points/punches earned for Loyalty rewards.

To look up a customer:

• Log in to the POS. The ticket entry screen appears.

  

• Tap the hamburger menu icon to open the slide out menu.

• Tap Customers then enter all or part of the customer name in the search bar.

  Tip: You can also scan a QR code from a third party loyalty app. You need the proper scanner capable of reading QR codes to use the scan feature.

  

• Scroll through the list of matching results and tap the customer to view the customer details. You can also tap Assign to add the customer to the open ticket.
