Coupons

I need to have a coupons page/screen that customers can go to and either download a coupon or simply show it during their transaction in the salon/store. Is that possible?

I would probably go the Custom HTML rout. This would also allow you to expire coupons pretty easily if you need to by changing the coupon so when the app updates the customer gets the current coupon.

Thanks. I'll look into that. Is it something a non technical type like me can do?

Yeah its really easy, are you creating a 1.4, 1.5 or 2.0 app?

I am just starting out, so I am not even sure what you are asking. Sorry.

BHonest, Definitely doable with BuzzTouch. Firstly, work on a home menu where users can access a list of coupons. Then, yeah, use an HTML screen (or document) and type out/embed the barcode necessary for the coupon. When the coupon is ready to expire, just log in to your BT panel, and delete the screen. That way, (assuming a user has internet connection) the coupon will vanish. You probably should put the expiry date on the actual coupon itself too, because if a user doesn't update the app, the coupons won't vanish etc. Thus it would be ideal for the store attendant to check the expiry on all the coupons. If you need any help just get in touch, I've just started working on a coupon app too.

I've done this in my app, created a serverside html screen with a coupon graphic, the page never changes I just need to update the coupon graphic when old one expires, so users never know, they just show the screen when they come in, works great.

Thanks for the advice. I will try and decipher the ideas as I am a newbie but trying to understand the lingo and what to do.
