To use their member loyalty points, a member will redeem them to a gift card which can then be applied to purchase(s). The typical way to do this is for the member to use the Kensium Shopping Cart app to redeem their points.

The POS Admin user interface also provides a way for to clerks to redeem points on behalf of a member. The clerk can use the Redeem Points page – accessible from a member’s Loyalty Points tab – to redeem points.

Redeeming points require Redeem loyalty points permission.
