3 Overview OneOne infinity group is a Loyalty Scheme which interfaces with Arch Cash Registers, allowing store owners to draw customers back to their stores based on Cash Back Incentives which are loaded onto a member card system. The benefits of this system for the store is repeat business, and for the customer, they have a loyalty system by which they receive Cash Rewards loaded onto their cards, which they can use like a debit card in store as tender on purchases made as well as at other participating stores in a franchise setup environment. For the retailer the benefits are profit increases in terms of growth in revenue (bigger basket size per customer), building a customer database which can be used to channel marketing and the cashback (discount) which cannot be withdrawn, but only redeemed when purchases are made. The aim of this user guide is to assist the users in the correct procedure when using the loyalty card at the till point. This includes receiving and loading a payment on the card for a customer. The term Saving stamps has been allocated to the receiving and storing of money on the card. It also includes redeeming the saving stamps or the cashback when the customer tenders a payment for purchases. This guide also aims to explain how to print token slips which will encourage nonmembers to join or at the very least assist the retailer in obtaining contact information of nonmembers.

5 Till point transaction Card Authentication When the cashier starts with a new transaction a pop up will appear on the till screen prompting the cashier to ask the customer whether they are loyalty members or not.

There is also a choice for No Card if the customer is not a loyalty member or if the customer does not have their loyalty card with them.

14 Short tendered It may happen that the total amount of the purchases is more than the balance on the customer s loyalty account or that the customer does not want to redeem the total balance or that there is a limit to how much can be redeemed within the store. In this case the cashier will follow the normal steps, but once the amount has been entered a message will appear informing the cashier that the amount is a short tender.

15 The normal cash off procedure should be followed. * Note that the deduction of the balance during tender is set up to first redeem from the Saving Stamp balance and then thereafter from the CashBack balance. Exceeding the transaction limit when redeeming a voucher It is best practice to set a limit on the amount which can be redeemed per transaction. The default limit at present is R150. This limit will protect the customer. For instance, if the customer loses their card and someone picks it up, the balance cannot be cleared completely. If a customer wants to redeem a balance larger than the set limit a pop up will appear on the till screen informing the cashier that the cash-in value is more than the limit set in store.

The customer will request an increase in their spending limit via the kiosk and will receive a password via a One Time Password SMS from OneOne which they will enter at the kiosk to increase their limit temporarily. The customer can then return to the till. The cashier or the supervisor has to retrieve the stored transaction and continue with the voucher payment.
