This topic is an overview of LS Central data setup that is used by the ScanPayGo app.

Stores

Retail items

Hierarchy

ScanPayGo users

Offers and Publish Offers

Purchase history

Stores

The ScanPayGo app can detect the store a user is in when he or she enters the store and opens the app. This function, which is to be finalized for version 2.0 of the app, requires setting up an iBeacon.

The app also offers the option of manually selecting the store from a list of stores. You can set up a default store in the app's Settings.

The app needs to know in which store the user is shopping, so the app can get the item list and other information from the store’s setup.

The ScanPayGo app needs the following information from LS Central’s Store card:

  1. General FastTab
    • Store name
    • Store address
    • Store phone number
    • Longitude and latitude for the stores's location on the map.
  2. Omni FastTab
    • Loyalty, this is a toggle field. If the field is On , the store is included in the store list.
  3. Retail Calendar FastTab
    • Opening hours for the store are registered here.
  4. Hierarchy Dates FastTab
    • Here you put in the hierarchy code for the item list that is shown in the app.

Retail items

Items in the ScanPayGo app are the same items with the same information that LS Central uses. The app displays items with an expanded description and an image, so this information should be for the retail items.

The app needs the following information from LS Central's Retail Item Card:

  1. Item description
  2. Unit price including VAT
  3. Item barcode that can be scanned
  4. Images - Retail image link
  5. Item HTML
    • Here you can create a detailed description for the item in HTML format.
      Note: This is not necessary for the ScanPayGo app, but you can entered this information here to provide extra information about the item in the hierarchy or while scanning.
  6. Other general data.

Hierarchy

The ScanPayGo app can display items in a hierarchy. For this to work, the setup must include:

  1. A hierarchy that includes the items to be displayed in the app.
  2. It is recommended to link images to the hierarchy’s nodes.
  3. It is recommended to link images to the item’s in the hierarchy. This is done in the Retail Item card in LS Central.
  4. The stores that can be used by the ScanPayGo app must have a link to their hierarchy.
    • This setup is in the Store card, in the Hierarchy Dates FastTab. Note: Make sure this setup is valid.
  5. For more information about Hierarchies, see the LS Central Help.

Tip: The LS Central Demo Data Company has an example of a hierarchy called Grocery that is linked to store S0001.

ScanPayGo users

ScanPayGo users or loyalty customers are members in LS Central, so the Member Management functionality in LS Central is required, that is data for member clubs, member schemes, member accounts, member contacts, member logins, and so on.

For more information about Member Management in LS Central see the LS Central Help.

To login to the ScanPayGo app as a user, you must have a member login, that is a user ID and a password.

User IDs and password can be created in the app and in BackOffice, that is in member logins.

For ScanPayGo demo purposes, the member club CRONUS-SPG is included in the LS Central Demo Data Company.

Offers and Publish Offers

Data for offers in ScanPayGo are prepared in LS Central.

  1. Set up the offers in LS Central.
  2. Import the offers into Publish Offers in LS Central, where you add an image and extra text for each offer.

Note:

  • Only offers that are included in Publish Offers in LS Central can be displayed in the Offers part of the ScanPayGo app.
  • Only valid offers are displayed in Offers in the ScanPayGo app.

Offers in the ScanPayGo app can be divided into Personal and General groups:

  • Personal - are offers that are triggered with member information.
  • General - are offers that do not have triggers connected with members.

Purchase history

Purchase history in the ScanPayGo app can only be displayed when the loyalty customer or member has logged into the app, because the function only shows the purchase history of a logged-in user.

The Purchase History screen in ScanPayGo shows all POS sales and sales generated in the app.
