Sometimes a balance is wrong. A purchase was rung up twice, a member was promised a goodwill bonus, or points were awarded to the wrong person. The Adjust/Deduct tab on the Points Operations page lets you correct a balance by hand, outside of a normal purchase. For the everyday award flow, see Points Operations.
The Adjust/Deduct tab on the Points Operations page

The Adjust/Deduct tab. Pick Add Points or Deduct Points, enter an amount, and write a reason.

​
Who can adjust a balance

Only owners and managers can finish an adjustment. A staff member can open the Points Operations page and see the Adjust/Deduct tab, but when they try to confirm, Qtap blocks the change and tells them the action needs an owner or manager. Hand a balance correction to an owner or manager if you are signed in as staff.

​
Add or deduct points

As you fill the form, Qtap shows the member’s current balance and what it becomes after the change, so you can check the math before you confirm.
A deduction of 150 points, showing the current and new balance

The form shows the adjustment and the new balance before you confirm.

​
A deduction cannot go below zero

You cannot deduct more points than a member has. If the amount would push the balance under zero, Qtap rejects the change and leaves the balance untouched. Lower the amount and try again.

​
Deductions notify the member

When you deduct points, the member gets a notice with the reason you typed and their new balance. Qtap sends it as a push notification, and falls back to email if push is off. Adding points does not send a notice. The confirmation screen reminds you of this before a deduction goes through.
Confirm Points Deduction dialog showing before and after balances and the reason

The confirmation screen for a deduction, with the member, the amount, the new balance, and the reason.

Every adjustment is recorded with your staff account, the amount, and the reason. A balance change is hard to walk back, so check the member and the amount before you confirm.
Each change also lands in the Recent Activity tab, where you can confirm it went through and see who made it.
