This list of coupons can also be accessed from the 'Coupons' menu ==> list of coupons. Then click on the coupon you want to notify.

11. How to notify the client of a recent or past transaction? You must locate in the main menu Transactions ==> List of transactions. The most recent appears at the top of the list, or you can find a past transaction using the filters and search box. On the right side of each transaction card, there is a green button to notify all the details to the coupon beneficiary's WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can click on the transaction card to see the details that you are about to notify the customer, and inside, there is also a button to notify by Whatsapp.

System collaborators

15. What is a collaborator Vs system admin You, as the system administrator, have the power to register as many businesses to the system as your usage plan allows, and also to edit and configure every aspect of the general services offered by our platform. Your usage plan may allow you to add specific collaborators in each registered business so that they are in charge of the tasks of the administration of a particular business.

16. How do I add a collaborator? Register in the system an account for the user you want to link (Note: you must log out to be able to make a new registration, although only if you are doing it from the same workstation) Then log in again as admin and navigate to the BUSINESS menu ==> list of business. Select the business of your choice and click on the icon to edit the business information. In the pop-up window you will find the fields that edit the business information and among them you must locate the field 'Biz collaborator 1'. Then enter the email of the user you had previously registered and press 'Save changes'

17. What can and cannot be done by a business collaborator? The only thing a collaborator can't do is add a new business to the system or add themselves as a collaborator, from then on, they will be able to edit or access any aspect of a business in which they participate as a collaborator.

Internal notes

18. How can I add my notes or private notes to a coupon in system? There are two ways to do it: initially, when you are filling out the new coupon form, the last field allows you to add your notes and comments. If the coupon was already in the system, enter the coupon page and locate the pencil icon to edit. In the pop-up window, you will find a field called 'Notes', enter the information you want to associate with the coupon there.

19. Where do I find the private notes that I add to a coupon? When a coupon has notes, they are located at the top of the coupon page. Remember that these notes are only visible to you as an admin or to your collaborators.

20. How can I see in the general system that a coupon has notes, I'm not going to have to enter coupon by coupon to review, right? Whether or not a coupon has notes inside it may not represent much to us, what we really want to know is if any of the notes require our action or attention; When you review your list of coupons, you will see that in all the tabs to the right, there is a field called 'Review'. The value in this field can have one of two colors: green or red. The idea is that when it is in red, it represents that there are pending things to do associated with the coupon and that we surely have recorded in notes, and when it is in green, we have the peace of mind that there are no pending tasks, even though the coupon has notes or comments inside.

21. And how do I establish notes with pendings or tasks to be done, and give the 'Review' field red color? Bearing in mind that the colors of the 'Review' field do not depend on whether or not a coupon has notes, the red color is established when we add the keyword 'Pend*' to the content of the note. For example, the content of a note that reads 'Notify coupon beneficiary only until March 6 Pend*' automatically turns the 'Review' field red when we consult the list of coupons.

22. And when I process my internal notes for a coupon, and there is nothing left to do or review how do I proceed? You must edit the note; enter the coupon, locate the coupon edit pencil icon, and when you're in the 'Notes' field delete just the 'Pend*' keyword or the entire note if you wish. This will change the value of the 'Review' field to green

23. When adding a new coupon deal, I have to select from 3 options for the deal type field. What are their differences?

  • Credit: This type of plan is ideal when we are offering credit. For example, we offer the client a consumption quota of 100K that he agrees to cancel on a certain date, or just after consuming the entire balance.

  • Prepaid card: This is the most common of the three options, and it is the one associated with gift cards or prepaid quotas, that is, the customer cancels the value of the quota in advance and the user consumes the balance without worrying that it is owed. Similar to how the entrance cards to the public transport systems operate.

  • Prepaid service: Here we group the cards or coupons that are stamped to sell a service and that usually keep the cost hidden from the beneficiary, for example, 'Bonus for a tango class' or 'Voucher for a haircut'.
