2) Your location address

We need you to provide us with your location address. Additionally, if desired, you can set up notifications to be sent to a customer's phone based on this address. Here, you can specify the customer's proximity to your location to receive notifications, for example, within 50 meters of your establishment.

3) Your location name for the loyalty program website

We'll create a website for customer registration in your loyalty program. After creating this website, we need to know your location name, which will be included in the URL address benefit.storyous.com/yourlocationname. The website's design cannot be changed, and the text will always be in your company's default language.

4) Welcome message on the website

If you choose rewards in the form of stamps, we need to know what the welcome message on the registration website should be, for example, "Every fifth hotdog is free."

5) Information for the back side of the customer loyalty e-card

We'll also need information from you for the back side of the e-card that the customer will have on their mobile phone after registering on the website. The back side can include opening hours, links to social media, and more.

6) Marketing materials

We'll also need to know if you are interested in marketing materials or not. We can create marketing materials (flyers, A4 leaflets, manuals) for your company to promote the Loyalty program. We'll send these materials digitally via email, and you can print them as needed.

With your admin account in the Storyous Admin. Here, you can see how much your customers have spent in the selected period and, based on that, set discounts for them, for example. You can find the Loyalty program in the Setup section.unt accordingly.

In the Marketing column, you can see whether a customer has expressed interest in receiving email newsletters from your company. If a customer has a checkmark next to their name, it means they're interested in receiving newsletters. If there is a cross next to their name, it means they aren't interested. You can export the list of registered customers as a CSV file at any time in the top right corner.

By clicking on the pencil icon, you can edit the information of your registered customers.

Clicking on the info icon will take you to an reports overview of a specific customer with the loyalty program.

If you are using stamp rewards, you can set up the products for which a customer receives stamps in the Settings for each individual customer.

Your customers don't need to carry any physical loyalty cards with them. We create loyalty e-cards for you, which your customers can download to their mobile phones. These e-cards work on both iOS and Android operating systems.

To obtain this card, a customer must first register on the website. Once registered for the loyalty program, they'll receive a unique customer identification number and can download the loyalty e-card to their phone - just like adding a boarding pass to a mobile wallet. The card contains business information, the identification number, and a barcode.

During payment, the customer presents the card, and you enter either the customer's unique ID or, if you use a barcode scanner, you can scan the barcode directly from the customer's phone to your POS. The amount is then either reduced by a certain percentage, or a stamp is added for the selected product of your choice.

Note - if you're a customer of a business using the Storyous POS system, you can register for the loyalty program only if that business has the loyalty program set up and active.

Print rules

At Table 6 on Floor 1, you order some fries, and based on the associated rule you've set up for this product, the system recognizes that the fries should be printed in the kitchen on Floor 1, even if you were to place this order on Floor 2, for example.
