Show offers on your terminals' idle screens and receipts with a QR code that links to your product. Create campaigns with AI or by hand, schedule them, pick the stores, and follow the QR scans.

Campaigns Marketing QR codes Idle screen Receipts

Overview

A campaign is a short promotion shown on your payment terminals between payments, and on the digital receipt. It has a headline, a short description, an image, and a QR code that takes the customer to a page you choose, for example the product you’re promoting. Each campaign runs for a set period in the stores you pick.

Open Campaigns in the sidebar. Not every account has Campaigns; if you don’t see it, it isn’t enabled for you. Creating, changing and deactivating campaigns is for admins.

The campaigns page

Campaigns page with QR scan statistics and a campaign card

At the top, QR scans counts how many customers opened a campaign link, for Today, This week and This month, with the number of unique scans under each. Filter it by where the QR code was scanned: All, Receipt or Idle screen.

Below are your campaigns. Each card shows the image, name, headline, up to two of its stores (plus how many more), and the date range, or Unscheduled if it has no dates. Click a card to open the campaign. The copy icon in the corner of a card duplicates it (see below).

Campaigns you’ve deactivated are collected under Deactivated (N) at the bottom. Open the section to see them.

Creating a campaign

Click + Create Campaign. You can let AI draft the campaign or write it yourself. A LIVE PREVIEW on the right shows how it will look on the terminal while you work.

AI Create

  1. Describe the campaign in the box, for example “Create a campaign for this fall that promotes our membership program”. Or click one of the suggestions above the box; some of them use your own products.
  2. Optionally click Products, pick a store and the products the campaign is about.
  3. Click Generate. The AI fills in the campaign and switches to the Manual tab, so you can check and adjust everything before you save.
