A. Customers will be tagged when a given customer has interacted with Marsello - made an order, claimed a coupon, interacted with a campaign, etc.

Q. Does the customer need to hide or show their email address in Apple or Facebook to receive marketing from Marsello?

Original question:

Apple has the ability to show or hide email address, if they hide their email, will we be able to see the customer's email and send them marketing emails?

This is the case with SSO platforms. This isn’t only Apple, Facebook also has the ability to choose not to share their email address with the platform. If they ‘hide’ the email address, it is hidden from Marsello and you won't be able to send them emails.

It is recommended to inform their customers that they need to share their email addresses to be part of the loyalty program. Some suggested text to this effect is, " To be part of the loyalty program, please be sure to share your email address when signing up. We take your privacy very seriously. The information you provide will be held under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679.”

Q. If I use Lightspeed Restaurant (O-Series) POS on iPad, will I need to organize a physical scanner in order to scan customer QR codes.

Q. How often does the multi-site reporting update?

A. Multi-site reporting updates hourly.

Q. Are points removed for refunded orders in Lightspeed Restaurant (O-Series)?

A. Once a sale is refunded, points are not automatically removed. Any change in points balance would need to be done via a manual points adjustment.

A. If you access the portal and sign up via a QR code, it will take a few minutes (no more than 5) for the new profile to appear in the POS. If you can access the in-store portal through a text message, this is due to a profile being previously created for you in POS which triggered the SMS automation to send.
