When a client is referred to your business (Referee), the referral credit will not be usable until it is activated. Activation can be done automatically or manually. In this article, we will explore automatic activation in POS.
Things to know:
- Automatic referral credit activation for referee occurs in POS when the client has met the minimum spend threshold in a single visit and the ticket is closed.
- Manual activation of referral credits involves a staff member taking action to activate the credits on the client's profile. This is done by selecting the "activate" option within the client's profile. Learn more here.
- When the referral credit for the referee is activated:
- The green banner in POS > New Ticket screen will not be displayed on subsequent referee visits.
