A voucher called “10% Off Any Drink” could be a milestone reward off a stamp card or a discount voucher from a campaign. Those need two different things from whoever is at the till. Qtap answers that before anyone hands anything over: above every voucher on the Redemptions page sits a grey strip that names the kind of reward and says what to do with it.

The strip (1) sits between the code you looked up and the voucher itself.

​
What the strip tells you

Reading left to right and top to bottom, it holds up to five things:
  1. The badge. The kind of reward, colour-coded.
  2. The source label. Either “Loyalty reward” (earned on a stamp card or points program) or “Campaign voucher” (claimed from a campaign or public offer).
  3. The terms. The number staff act on: a percentage, an item, a points cost, a stamp threshold.
  4. The origin. Which card, program or campaign it came from.
  5. A counter note. One line saying what happens when you confirm.
Every one of those comes from a stored field on the reward. None of it is guessed from the reward’s name, which is why a stamp-card reward named “10% Off Any Drink” is badged Milestone reward rather than Discount.

​
Rewards earned on a card or program

These carry the source label “Loyalty reward” and one of three badges. Main reward is the one at the end of the card. On a stamp card the note says it was earned by completing the card, and that a fresh card starts after this. It shows no threshold, because a main reward fires when the card completes rather than at a set number. Milestone reward is earned part-way. On a stamp card the terms line shows the threshold (“At 4 stamps”) and the note says their stamps keep counting after this. That part matters at the till: handing over a milestone reward does not reset anything. Signup bonus is the reward given when the customer joined, noted as “Given when they joined.” A member can hold several at once, and each voucher gets its own strip.

​
Campaign and offer vouchers

A voucher the customer claimed from a campaign or a public offer carries the source label “Campaign voucher” and an origin line naming the campaign. The badge and the note depend on how the offer was set up: The terms line carries the offer’s own wording, so a percentage offer shows the figure and a buy-one-get-one shows the items.

A discount voucher: the figure staff need and the instruction to apply it.

The same strip for a buy-one-get-one offer, carrying the items rather than a percentage.

​
Rewards the customer already paid for

Customers can spend points or stamps inside the app to buy a voucher before they reach the counter. Those keep their loyalty badge and gain one extra line saying the reward was already paid for in the app and nothing is deducted now. Confirming hands the item over without touching the balance a second time.

A prepaid voucher. The balance was spent in the app, so confirming deducts nothing.

These come through the code box rather than a customer lookup, so the origin line stays blank.

​
Where it shows up

The strip follows a reward through the whole redemption:
  • On the Enter Code tab, above the voucher the code resolved to.
  • On the Look Up Customer tab, above each voucher the member is holding.
  • In the Confirm Redemption dialog, so the last screen before you commit still names the type.

The type stays on screen in the confirmation dialog.

Rewards a member can buy with their points balance right now appear in a separate list further down the page. Those rows are tighter, so they show the badge and the origin without the counter note.

A points-cost reward: the badge, the points needed, and the program it belongs to.

​
On a phone at the counter

The strip is built to wrap rather than cut off, so a tablet or phone at the till shows the same words as a desktop.

A voucher with no strip at all means Qtap could not read what kind of reward it is, usually an older campaign saved before the offer types were added. It does not mean the reward is an ordinary one. Qtap shows nothing rather than guess, so go by the wording on the voucher and check with the owner if you are unsure.
The strip is a label for whoever is serving. Confirming does the same thing whether the strip is there or not: a bonus-stamps voucher credits the stamps, and a discount voucher is marked used. Qtap never adjusts a bill, so a discount comes off by hand on your till.
Anyone who can open the Redemptions page sees the strip. Redeeming is switched on by default for both managers and staff, so this reaches everyone working the counter. See Roles and permissions to change who can redeem, and Scan to redeem for the fastest way to pull a customer’s rewards up.
