GETTING STARTED WITH myLoyalty
Before going live you should go through the checklist below to ensure that you are taking full advantage of the myLoyalty functionality and integrations. This checklist is targeted towards myLoyalty Merchants and covers the mandatory and optional configurations that should be considered prior to going live.
BUSINESS DEFINITION
(click on logged-in user name at the top-right-hand-corner of the screen > My Business)
My Business
The information on this screen refers to general information about your business that is displayed in the consumer application such as name, address, logo etc.

INTEGRATIONS
(Platform > Integrations)
JCC Merchant
It is required to configure the integration with JCC Payment Systems following the steps listed below:
Select JCC Merchant from Payment Gateways section
Enter a meaningful Name for your integration e.g. The name of your business as it is registered in JCC records.

5. Save your configuration.

Now you will need to import your outlets. Select your JCC merchant integration again, click on the options button (…) in the top right-hand corner, select Import Outlets. This process will automatically retrieve your outlets and Transaction Acquiring Points and create venues/outlets in myLoyalty scheme . Your venues/outlets can be viewed via Business Network > My Venues.
REWARDS
Upon registration of a new merchant, a reward scheme is automatically created using the name of the business, along with four basic offers. Activating the rewards scheme and one or more offers will allow your customers to be awarded for their purchases.
Reward Scheme
(Rewards > Schemes)
The reward scheme created is an auto sign-up scheme which implies that customers participating in your loyalty scheme will be automatically signed-up to the reward scheme and therefore benefit from the offers of the scheme.
During this stage you will be required to check the reward scheme details and activate it so that it becomes available on the app. Ensure that the information here is correct as it will be accessible by the user on the consumer app.
To edit the scheme - click on the three dots on the reward scheme card > Edit.
Check the description.
Update your T&Cs.
Save.
Activate the reward scheme - click on the three dots on the reward scheme card > Activate. Activating your reward scheme will make it possible for consumers to register with your scheme and benefit from your offers.
Reward Offers
(Rewards > Offers)
There are four inactive offers available:
€5 Registration Offer - effective upon successful registration of a contact
20% Birthday Offer - valid only on the day of the contact’s birthday
5% Cashback on all Purchases - on all products and valid for all locations
€1 Referral Cashback - cashback is applicable if a referred customer registers using the provided referral code and makes an initial purchase
Before activating an offer you will need to check and possibly amend some of the offer settings, bear in mind that all of this information will be visible on the app.
Edit the offer (click on the three dots on the reward offer card > Edit)
Check that the following are to your satisfaction:
Offer name.
Image - this can be changed by selecting Edit Images as before. Use the image type Avatar if you change the offer image.
Validity period - open ended implies an ongoing offer.
Short description.
Long description.

Award Information
Award and spend conditions applicable for the offer, can be amended if necessary.
New offers can be created as required by selecting the Create Offer button on the offers summary screen.
Activate an offer to become effective - click on the three dots on the reward offer card > Activate.
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION
These are additional, optional configurations which you may like to consider for your myLoyalty account, in particular to improve customer communication.
INTEGRATIONS
(Platform > Integrations)
Configure additional integrations offering multiple channels of communication with your customers such as:
SMTP - For email communications with your customer. You will need to register with an email service provider if you haven’t already done so.
SMPP - To send text messages to your customers. Again, you will need to register with a service provider and complete the configuration details required.
Google Places - Google maps is used by the consumer app to identify and pinpoint outlet locations on the map including directions to get to a location (e.g. a venue). If you setup Google Places integration you will be able to locate and select your outlet (venue) addresses using Google Places, thereby making them visible to the user on the map.
USERS
