Issue Store Credit to Customers

I wanted to offer our customers store credit for bringing in their second-hand magazines.  Does Square offer a way to issue credit under a customer's email address?  If not, can someone recommend an option that may be easier than issuing a printed coupon/voucher?

 

We use the Square Terminal.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hey there @DeSmetTrading.  Currently in Square, this is not possible — at least not the way you want it to be possible.  You could, if you want, give the customer e-gift cards for the credit amount.  Keep in mind that gift card load fees would still apply — 2%, I believe.

 

Otherwise, you can head over to the Square App Marketplace and check out third-party apps for “store credit.”  Two pop up immediately — Pintuna and Loopz.  Both have monthly subscription fees, but it sounds like the lowest tier might work for your needs.

Hello @DeSmetTrading, this is Ashwin from Pintuna, we are a Square trusted partner. We offer a Store Credit app that should work perfectly in your case. The app is tightly integrated with the Square POS system. We have Square sellers that run gently loved clothing stores and they offer store credits to customers for their clothes that can then be used for purchases of other clothes in-store or online.

 

We issue digital store credits that customers can add to their apple/goole wallets. You can scan these at checkout for redemption. You can also add funds to it. Balances are updated in real time in the wallet. You can manage all store credits through our portal. Happy to demo the app.

 

If interested just pick a time for a call and demo at https://calendly.com/pintuna/30min
