What if I need to add or subtract Stamps from a client's account?

For whatever reason, you can manipulate the number of stamps each of your clents have by using your Dashboard. From your Dashboard, click Customer Data, then Data. You will be directed to a screen showing all of your clients. Find the client that you wish to edit, and click Stamp. Select the proper Loyalty Program from the dropdown menu. (Most salons only have one named "My Stamps") Enter the number of stamps you want added to the account. If you want to subtract stamps, simply put a - sign in front of the number. Eg: -1 Press Stamp. The account will now reflect the new number of stamps.

What if a client accidentally redeems a reward when they are not in the salon?

It is your decision if you will reverse the reward or not. If you decide you do want to reverse the reward, you can do this from your Dashboard. Click Customer Data, then Data. You will be directed to a screen showing all of your clients. Find the client that you wish to edit, and click Rewards. Here you can view all of the Rewards that this client has earned and redeemed.

From inside the app, the client simply needs to click on 'My Account' (right under the 4 squares). The opt-in box will be there to check to subscribe to emails. To re-subscribe to text messages, the client would have to send a text with the word 'YES' to the number listed in that 'My Account' section.
