On a points program, a customer spends points to claim a reward. You don’t need a code for this. Look the customer up on the Redemptions page, and Qtap shows you the rewards their balance covers. Pick one, confirm, and the points come off.

This is the points side of redemption. If a customer instead hands you the 6-character code from their phone, use the Enter Code method on the same page.

What confirming does

When you confirm, Qtap:
  • Takes the points off the customer’s balance right away.
  • Records the redemption, so it shows on the History tab and on the customer’s profile.
  • Sends the customer a notification that the reward was redeemed.

​
Notes worth knowing

The list only shows rewards the customer can afford. If a reward they want isn’t there, they don’t have enough points yet. The list filters by their current balance, so it changes as they earn more. The balance check is exact. If the customer’s points change between opening the screen and confirming, say another staff member redeems for them at the same counter, Qtap blocks the second redemption instead of letting the balance go below zero. You’ll see an error. Reopen the customer and check their balance. The reward and its points program both have to be active. A reward you’ve switched off won’t show up to redeem. The branch you choose is what the redemption is attributed to, so per-branch and per-staff numbers stay accurate.
Redemptions can’t be undone from the dashboard. Check the reward and the customer before you confirm. If you confirm one by mistake, email support@qtap.qa and the team can help correct it.
Redeeming is available to the owner at all times, and is on by default for managers and staff.
