Gift With Purchase | Provide the ability to create a Gift With Purchase promotion at POS (Category Award)

This new feature of POS supports Gift With Purchase promotions. Based on a Category Award Promotion, POS can now add most any Gift with a Purchase. For instance, Spend $50 and a receive a $10 Gift Card for $5, or Purchase a winter coat and receive a free pair of gloves. Additionally, when using CX Connect, the customer is prompted with details on the Gift With Purchase and can choose if they would like it added, or how many if the promotion allows multiples.

VAT Refund | Enhancements to support Tax Free Shopping Services: POS, Receipts, Refunds and API Integration

Planet Tax Free is one of several services that allow applicable customers (permanently residing outside of the country in which the purchase is made) to enjoy ‘Tax Free' shopping by receiving a VAT refund. Typically the VAT refund is issued at stations within major airports as you leave the country. However, in order to facilitate this, the customer must inform the cashier they would like the purchase flagged as Planet Tax free. In return, POS must capture specific customer information to support the refund, such as Passport. The transaction then calls a real-time API to pass the transaction data and customer PII. In response, POS will get a Tag Number and URL that needs to print on the receipt. nullnullWhile this Epic is specifically for implementing our first Tax Free Shopping Service, Planet Tax Free, there are others that we may want to integrate with. This epic has concessions to support multiple VAT Refund Services by use of configurable parameters, such as Global Blue.
