Create a Loyalty Program with Square for Franchises
A loyalty program is a points-based system. Customers receive a certain amount of points based on how much they spend at your business. You can create multiple loyalty programs specific to time of day or certain time periods.
You can view your loyalty customers in your Square for Franchises dashboard under the Central Location corporate Square account. Customers accumulate points on orders from all stores within the same franchise and can spend accrued points in person, online, or through your mobile app.
Note: You must Contact Square to enable Loyalty on your Square for Franchises account.
Add time-specific earning rule
The default loyalty point accrual rule is that customers earn one point for every one dollar they spend at the business. You can add a time-specific earning rule to let your customers earn a non-default amount of points on specific days of the week or during specific hours.
