SOP: Change a Coupon Redemption Method

Objective

This SOP explains how to update a coupon’s redemption method in Customer Journey and how to verify the customer’s redemption flow. It helps staff choose between staff-assisted QR/pin redemption and self-redemption, then confirm the coupon is redeemed correctly.

Key Steps

 

1. Open Customer Journey and locate the coupon 0:15

  • Go to Customer Journey.

  • Scroll to the coupon you want to update.

  • Note that all coupons, including referrals, have a redemption method.

  • Identify the specific coupon type you need to edit, most commonly a milestone coupon.

 

2. Open the coupon configuration 0:29

  • Find the coupon and click Configure.

  • Review the current redemption style.

  • In the example, the coupon is set to Pin Mode.

 

3. Understand staff-assisted redemption 0:39

  • In Pin Mode, the customer presents a QR code.

  • Staff scans the QR code.

  • Staff then enters the PIN code tied to the account to complete redemption.

  • Use this method when redemption requires staff verification.

 

4. Test the current redemption flow 0:53

  • Open the customer wallet or test account.

  • Select Show Code.

  • Confirm the system displays a QR code when staff-assisted redemption is enabled.

  • Scan the QR code and enter the associated PIN to redeem the coupon.

 

5. Change the redemption method to self-redemption 1:37

  • Return to the coupon configuration screen.

  • Change the redemption method from Staff Pin to Self Redeem.

  • Click Save to apply the update.

  • Refresh the page if needed so the updated coupon settings load correctly.

 

6. Verify the self-redemption flow 1:58

  • Select Show Code again after saving the change.

  • Confirm the customer now sees a Redeem Now option instead of a QR code.

  • Have the customer tap Redeem Now.

  • The system will prompt the customer to confirm the redemption.

 

7. Confirm redemption details before honoring the coupon 2:16

  • Ask the customer to present the date and time for the coupon redemption.

  • Verify the date and time match the coupon record.

  • If the date and time do not match, do not honor the redemption.

  • Complete the redemption only when the details are valid.

Cautionary Notes

  • Do not honor a redemption if the customer’s date and time do not match the coupon record.

  • Make sure you are editing the correct coupon before saving changes.

  • After changing the redemption method, refresh the page if the new behavior does not appear immediately.

  • Be aware that staff-assisted redemption and self-redemption behave differently, so confirm the intended method before proceeding.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Use a test wallet/account to verify changes before applying them in live use.

  • Remember that Show Code behaves differently depending on the redemption method, so it is a quick way to confirm the setting.

  • Keep the coupon type and redemption method documented so staff know which process to follow.

  • If you frequently switch methods, verify the setting after every save to avoid redemption errors.
