We’re thrilled to share a fantastic new enhancement to our loyalty feature that we think you’ll love. You can now tie automatic discounts to loyalty tiers! Previously, loyalty discounts had to be manually applied, but with this update, you can offer special pricing and promotions for your loyalty customers directly through the point of sale. Please note that automatic discounts cannot remove loyalty points from the purchase.

To set this up navigate to your BLAZE Canada dashboard > Products > Discounts

1. Set up a new discount as an automatic discount
   
2. Add a loyalty tier to the discount
   

Once the discount is set up > simply add a customer to the cart and the corresponding discounts will be visible.

Important Note: There is a known issue where if you add a customer from a loyalty tier, add a discounted product, then remove the customer from that loyalty tier, the discount will still apply. In this very rare case, the budtender can manually remove the discount.

We hope this new feature makes it easier for you to reward your loyal customers and streamline your operations. As always, we’re here if you have any questions or need assistance.

Print Automation for Online Order Management

Greenline makes is easy for retailers to save time when printing online orders. The new auto print feature provides additional speed and accuracy, which in turn reduces errors and increases budtender productivity.

How to Enable Auto print

1. Turn on Auto print
   • Navigate to the Sales Settings on your POS device and turn on ‘Auto Print Receipts’.
2. Select Printer for Online Orders
   • Choose the printer used for printing online order receipts.
3. Choose Receipt Type
   • Select whether you want to print Online Order Receipts, Packing Slips, or both.

Single Device Activation:

Once Auto print is enabled on one device, it cannot be turned on in another device to prevent duplicated receipts.

Dedicated Printer Recommendation:

It is highly recommended to have a dedicated printer for online orders to avoid mixing up in-store sales receipts.

This functionality is available for TabletPOS only

We are excited to announce updates and improvements to the online order receipt process and Order Hub features for our retailers. Here’s what you need to know:

Parked sales became Order Hub

• The parked sale modal and dashboard page are being renamed to Order hub. Functionality will not change.

Dashboard Integration:

• A new button is added to the dashboard for each online order. Retailers can click this button to view and print the online order receipt. Packing slip button hasn’t changed.
  

Tablet POS Settings:

• Under the "Receipt Printing" section in the tablet POS settings, a new option is introduced for default printing preferences:
  • Packing Slip Only
  • Online Order Receipt Only
  • Both

Order Hub Enhancement:

• Long-pressing the print button for online orders in the Order Hub allows retailers to override the default printing setting for that specific order. This override is temporary and applies only to the current order.

Visual Feedback:

• When long-pressing the print button in the Order Hub, a progress bar appears to indicate that the request is being processed in the background, enhancing user experience and ensuring smooth deliverability.
  

WebPOS Buttons:

• In WebPOS, two separate buttons are introduced for printing:
  • Packing Slip
  • Online Order Receipt
• Retailers who wish to print both documents need to click both buttons sequentially.

Online order receipt:

• Packing slip hasn’t been changed
• Online order receipt will have additional information such as:
  • Discounts applied to the products,
  • Subtotal
    • Taxes
  • UNPAID tag for unpaid orders
  • PAID tag for paid orders

As we continue to improve our reporting structure and resolve some issues we have noticed in the beta testing of our product, we have temporarily turned off this feature. We appreciate your patience as we continue to build out stronger functionality within our reporting platform.
