Refunds and cancellations
Process a refund or cancellation against the original Loyverse receipt.
Perkstar reverses the applicable earning and restores redemption value supported
by that correction. A cancellation is treated as a full correction, and the
same update is safe to receive more than once.
A refund against a sale created before the Step 2 migration snapshot does not
automatically adjust Perkstar points. Historical purchases were represented by
the copied opening balance rather than separate Perkstar receipt credits, so
Perkstar does not reconstruct and then reverse an old sale. Contact
Loyverse@perkstar.co.uk if the business needs
an opening-balance correction for that historical refund.
If Perkstar cannot safely match the correction to its original sale or determine
the supported amount, it does not invent a points or money adjustment. Only the
affected customer’s published balance is held at zero and a review issue appears
on the Loyverse integration page while other receipts continue syncing.
Do not make a manual points or balance adjustment when a refund needs review.
Record the customer, original receipt number and time, then contact
Loyverse@perkstar.co.uk.
Troubleshooting
Step 2 shows excluded, errored or incomplete customers
Do not enable scanning or send invitations yet. Open the migration result,
use the identifying issue list to correct duplicate contact details, invalid
balances or customer-code conflicts in Loyverse, then run the guided refresh
or retry. Perkstar keeps successful rows and their points safe; a retry does
not grant the opening balance or approved welcome points twice. If
invitations have already started, contact support before changing the source
cohort.
Email or SMS invitations are unavailable
Invitations open only for the exact current migration after every eligible
customer has copied successfully. The included service email can be used
during an eligible trial. Paid SMS requires an active paid subscription and
enough SMS credits; its preview shows the eligible audience, message
segments and credit cost. Customers without a usable contact method cannot
be invited remotely and need a staff-assisted handoff.
The card is not under Ready to connect
Use its Edit link under Needs changes. Confirm it is an active
individual Points card, earns automatically, uses flexible Points-to-Cash
with a positive minimum, displays a QR code and requires First name and
Email. Save the guided changes and return to Loyverse setup.
Scanning says Customer not found
Confirm customer scanning is on, the customer joined the selected card, and
the device camera or external scanner is enabled. Check the integration page
for duplicate-email, customer-code or missing-details issues, correct the
record and choose Retry customer sync.
A paid sale did not earn points
Confirm the correct customer was attached before payment, the connected card
is active, the receipt is paid and the POS is online. Check connection
status and the last recovery sync before retrying. Perkstar does not guess
the customer for an unattached receipt.
The customer has points but Balance is zero
Flexible Points-to-Cash remains locked until the configured minimum is
reached. The Wallet card shows the points still needed. Also confirm till
redemption has finished activating.
A balance is too high or appears to earn twice
Immediately open Loyverse Back Office → Settings → Loyalty, save 0%
and leave it there. Do not manually edit Loyverse points while Perkstar till
redemption is active. Record the receipt and contact Perkstar support.
A sale, refund or Wallet update is delayed
Keep the POS online and allow the receipt to sync. Perkstar uses real-time
receipt notifications with a five-minute recovery path, and the Wallet
display can update shortly after the loyalty ledger. Check the dashboard
before repeating an action.
The page says Reconnect required
Stop redemption and reconnect the same Loyverse business only after checking
its balances and managed customer codes. If Loyverse access was revoked
first, manually clear any remaining Perkstar-published values before turning
redemption back on.
The page says Balance review required
Perkstar stopped instead of guessing about a changed or uncertain Loyverse
balance. During the first cutover, turn off customer card scanning, wait for
every managed code to be restored, then run the safe recovery check in Step
2. If that check says the value cannot be verified, do not edit it; contact
Perkstar support. During a later reactivation, review the unexpected old
Loyverse points balance. Retry activation only after you have confirmed it
is safe to return that old Loyverse balance to zero; contact support if the
value may be genuine.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Stamp card be connected?
No. Loyverse requires the complete scan, automatic earn and flexible
monetary redemption journey, so only compatible Points cards are available.
Can the customer redeem part of their balance?
Yes. Once the card’s minimum has unlocked spending, staff can enter any
eligible amount up to the available balance and ticket limit. Perkstar
deducts the exact monetary point discount on the paid receipt.
Does Perkstar synchronise products or payments?
No. Products, inventory, employees, taxes and payment information are not
synchronised. The integration exchanges only the business, customer,
receipt, refund, QR identifier and balance information required for loyalty.
Disconnect safely
Disconnect inside Perkstar first. Perkstar needs working Loyverse access to
release its scan identifiers, reconcile outstanding receipts and clear the
balance values it published.
Turn off customer card scanning
Open Perkstar → Settings → Integrations → Loyverse, choose Turn off
card scanning and wait until the managed customer scan codes are released.
Disconnect Loyverse in Perkstar
Choose Disconnect Loyverse. Perkstar keeps receipt reconciliation active
while it clears and verifies published balances. Resolve any displayed
refund review first.
Wait for Disconnected
Keep Loyverse authorised while clearing and verification finish.
Remove the app in Loyverse if wanted
Only after Perkstar reports Disconnected should you remove the app from
Loyverse Back Office.
Disconnecting does not delete ordinary Loyverse customer profiles or the
business’s own Perkstar cardholders. Perkstar deletes the Loyverse credentials
and locally held API-derived copies after disconnection, while retaining the
de-identified Perkstar loyalty and accounting ledger under its normal retention
rules.
Already revoked Perkstar from Loyverse? Manually clear any remaining
Perkstar-published points and managed customer codes before using Loyverse
loyalty again, then contact Perkstar support for
guidance.
