In Tillypad XL you can authorise promotion categories not only for your own clients, but also for customers of external systems. It might be useful when implementing client loyalty programs together with your partners. For example, hotel guests can receive discounts in the hotel restaurant, health center client card gives its owner a discount when ordering a dinner in the restaurant, shopping in a certain retail chain brings bonuses that are taken into account in the entertainment centre.

In order to use promotion categories of an external company, you need to import them to Tillypad XL , i.e. to determine the relationship between them and promotion categories used in your system. You will also need to import point types of the external company and determine the relationship between them and your own point types.

To configure settings that allow you to relate promotion categories and point types of external systems to promotion categories and point types of the Tillypad XL system, use the Promotion category authorisation device parameters directory.

If the promotion category authorisation device has recognized the ID presented by a client (for example, a client card) of an external system, then such client is served as a customer of your own company. That means that the external client can receive promotions and reward points.

IDs of imported promotion categories can belong to a different ID type than the IDs of your own promotion categories. In this case imported promotion categories are authorised on special promotion category authorisation devices that must be set up on POS terminals of your enterprise or of some of its divisions. These devices must perform promotion category authorisation functions. Each of these devices must have a specified parameter selected from the Promotion category authorisation device parameters directory.
