BLAZE® and Surfside have joined forces to bring Surfside’s revolutionary Commerce Media solution to BLAZE ECOM™ retailers.

With this strategic partnership retailers can monetize brand-sponsored ad placements on BLAZE ECOM menus and it gives brands access to premium site placements.

Retailers benefit from increased exposure at the point of purchase which gives them faster sell-through rates, larger basket sizes, and greater sales volume.

We are implementing an upcoming change to our customer search functionality that may require your attention.

What's Changing?

Starting on February 27th, when searching for customers, you will be prompted to select the specific customer search field  (such as phone number, email, name, or card ID) from a dropdown menu before entering the relevant information.

Tablet POS

Web POS

This adjustment will apply to both the Web and Tablet versions of our Point of Sale. Upon selecting a search field (e.g., phone number), the system will remember your preference, defaulting to that field for future searches. This will streamline your workflow and provide quicker access to the information you need.We understand that any modification, no matter how small, can disrupt your routine. However, this adjustment is essential to enhance the overall performance of our Point of Sale system, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for you.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team or your customer success representative.

Thank you.

We are actively addressing an issue related to customer search functionality on the tablet POS.

We are implementing a Search button within the tablet POS. This update aims to align the customer search process on the tablet with the functionality available in the Dashboard.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

On January 5th there will be a scheduled maintenance taking place between 12am and 3am PST.

The expected downtime will be around 5 minutes.

Please note that stores currently on our BETA feature for the new Insights reports will not receive updated data until early next week. Regular reports will not be affected.
