Increase Your Bottom Line and Profitably Manage Your Inventory with The Edge
WHAT IT IS
An expansion to the already existing Automated Notifications feature. Now you can create templates and rules for text and email Reward Notifications to have Rewards Activation and Rewards Balances automatically sent out when the conditions of the rules are met. The Rewards Notification feature comes with two brand-new Notification Types: New Card and Balance Update.
WHAT IT DOES
These new Notification Types give you the opportunity to provide customers with instant confirmation of their Rewards program activation from POS directly to their preferred contact method, as well as receive Rewards balance reminders showing how much they have earned by shopping at your store.
