Things to Know

No support for guest orders: An order can be completed in the Kiosk without making a loyalty claim by entering the phone number before placing the order. However, such “guest' orders are not sent to Spendgo. Guest orders will not show on Spendgo dashboard and will not be available for accruing points by claiming the order receipt from Spendgo Member Portal.
Order ID Format: The Bite Kiosk member orders show up with a 12-14 digit numerical ID such as 6818e01f6fa5176220063a8f0 in the Spendgo Dashboard. This is a unique Order ID created by Bite and varies from Merchant to Merchant. This is different from the order ID printed on the POS receipt. It is not possible to know the Order ID printed on the printed receipt from Spendgo Dashboard. The Bite order Id should be looked up in Bite to get the corresponding POS receipt ID.
The Member order shows both as a Bite order and a POS order in Dashboard: When the Member places the order from Bite Kiosk Spendgo order processes the loyalty on the order with Kiosk order ID. However it is possible that when the order is received at the POS terminal, it is possible that the POS also sends the order with the POS order ID as a guest order to Spendgo. Some POS systems do not send Kiosk orders to Spendgo but some systems do not. The integration has not been fully tested end-to-end with all Bite+POS combinations so at this time we do not have accurate information on which POS systems send and which POS systems do not. We will update this documentation with POS specific behavior as and when the information becomes available. It is not possible to prevent this duplication from happening either from Bite or Spendgo. The only way to prevent the duplication from happening is if the POS system stops sending the Kiosk order to Spendgo. When this happens
- The order placed from Bite shows up in Spendgo as two orders with a different ID. The Bite order shows as a loyalty order but the POS order shows as a guest order.
- Since the orders are counted twice - this causes over-reporting of sales and orders counts and may impact the offers configured based on the sales or orders count.
Additional notes about how the order IDs are handled if the Member changes the order after applying the reward: Bite generates an order ID and sends it to Spendgo for loyalty processing when the reward is applied. If the member changes the order after applying the reward or changes the applied reward, Bite voids the order and assigns a different order ID to the cart. So, in the dashboard this will show up as two orders. One with 0 points and the other for the updated order. Please note that even though this does not cause over-reporting of sales it will cause over reporting of orders count in Spendgo Dashboard reports and may impact the offers configured based on the orders count.

Processing Refunds to a closed order: The refunds on the closed order can be processed from Bite admin portal.

Action

Loyalty Processing

Order is fully refunded

Loyalty on the order is revered.

Points accrued on the order is reversed
Any Spendgo Reward applied to the order is added back to the Member’s balance

Order is partially refunded

Partial loyalty reversal is not supported in Spendgo. Partial refund is also treated the same way as the full refund.

In order to keep the loyalty on the partial refund to be processed correctly, it is recommended to fully refund the order and create a new order with the updated order details.

Notes about the order receipt on Spendgo Dashboard

Receipt Subtotal :
1. The Subtotal shown on the Dashboard receipt matches with the Subtotal in Bite order.
2. Subtotal reflects the sum of line items and tax and not the applied rewards/discounts/coupons and tips.
3. Also note that the points accrued on the order does not always match with the subtotal. This is because Spendgo does not compute points based on the receipt subtotal, but based on the sum of prices of items marked as qualifying for points.
Receipt Total:

The Total shown on the Dashboard receipt matches with the Total on the Brink order. Receipt total reflects the sum of line item prices including modifiers + Tax + Tip minus the applied rewards/discounts.
