The scanner names a different Program

Troubleshooting

The heading and the card can name different Programs, and the card is the one that counts.

This one only comes up if you run more than one Loyalty Program, and it looks worse than it is.

What is happening

LoyalPack App puts one Program name near the top, and it is always the oldest one you still have running. It is a label on the screen, not a setting, and it does not decide anything.

The card decides. Every card belongs to the Program it was created under, and scanning it stamps that Program whatever the heading says. You never choose a Program before scanning, and you cannot stamp the wrong one by having the wrong name on screen.

How to be sure

Once it has read a card it shows you the customer and their count for the Program that card belongs to. If that is the customer and the number you expected, the right Program was stamped.

If a stamp really did land on the wrong Program

That would mean the customer holds a card for that Program, which happens if they signed up through the wrong QR code. Stamps cannot be moved between cards, so the fix is to get them signed up to the right one and stamp that from now on.

Under Reports, the Audit Log shows which Program each stamp went to, which is the quickest way to check what actually happened.

Still stuck?

If none of this covers it, send us a message and a person will reply. Tell us what you were doing when it went wrong, and we can usually sort it in one message.

So we can reply. We use it for nothing else.

Optional. Handy if it is quicker to talk it through.

A few words, such as: stamps not showing on a card.

What you were doing, what you expected, and what happened instead.
