How Customers Redeem Their Rewards
Square merchants can send rewards to customers via SMS. Rewards can be redeemed by visiting a merchant’s location.
Enrol in a Square Merchant’s Loyalty Program
There are several ways to enrol in a participating merchant’s Square Loyalty program: during checkout at their business, when completing a Square Invoices transaction and through an invitation email that’s sent if you didn’t enrol after your last eligible purchase. You’ll enrol by entering your phone number and your earned points and rewards will be associated with this phone number, so make sure to always use the same one regardless of how you pay.
Note: You’ll only be given the option to enrol after making a purchase eligible for a star, according to the merchant’s Loyalty program rules.
Enrol at the Point of Sale
During checkout, you’ll see a Loyalty enrolment screen asking for your phone number to sign up for a business Loyalty program or to check in to an existing Loyalty program. Enter your 10-digit phone number to claim your points. At this point, you’ll receive an SMS text message confirmation with a link to your Loyalty status page.
After your payment has been approved, you’ll be prompted to enter a receipt preference: emailed or SMS digital receipts or no receipt.
Enrol Via Email After a Sale
If you visited a participating merchant and didn’t claim your point at checkout, you’ll receive an invitation to enrol in the merchant’s Loyalty program and claim your point after each eligible purchase. To do so:
Look for an email from the merchant regarding their Loyalty program.
Follow the prompt to Claim Your Points.
Enter your 10-digit phone number > tap Claim Your Points.
You’ll see a confirmation and an invite to Check Your Loyalty Status, which you can do at any time from this link.
Note: Enrolment invitation emails may take a few hours to reach your inbox after your purchase, and will only be sent if you provided an email address for a digital receipt.
Enrol via a Square Invoice
Square Invoices can be sent for completion via the email address or mobile phone number that’s on file for you with the business. Once you receive an invoice, take the following steps to enrol or check in to a business’ Square Loyalty program:
On the Invoice summary page, select Enrol or check in.
On the next screen, provide your phone number.
Select Enrol or check in and proceed through to complete the invoice payment. You’ll see any available points earned at the top of the page.
Once the invoice payment is complete, select Track your rewards progress to view your rewards progress, account information and any available points.
Note: Buyers can only accrue points when completing an invoice payment at this time. Buyers are not able to redeem any available rewards through Square Invoices payments, but rewards can be claimed during checkout at a point of sale or through a Square Online site.
View Your Square Loyalty Status
When you enrol in a Square merchant’s Loyalty program, you’ll receive a welcome SMS message including a link to your status page. This page includes your progress towards a reward, earned rewards, linked payments cards and an overview of your rewards activity with that merchant.
To view your Loyalty status with a specific Square merchant:
Access the Square merchant’s Loyalty Status page link.
Enter your phone number > Request Loyalty Code.
Enter the Loyalty code received via SMS > Sign In.
In case you’re not enrolled in the merchant’s Loyalty program, you’ll be prompted to enrol to start earning Points.
If you no longer have the welcome SMS with the link to your status page, you can resend it to yourself the next time you claim a point. Simply tap the field containing your phone number and the link will be resent via SMS.
Please note: You’ll need to have a mobile phone number to enrol in a Square seller’s Loyalty program and view your Loyalty status.
Redeem Your Rewards
When you visit a merchant, you can redeem your reward by providing the cashier with your name or 10-digit phone number.
You can also select your reward at checkout if you pay with a debit or credit card linked to your loyalty account, and apply it to your current purchase. Learn how to view which cards are linked to your account.
When you redeem a reward, your card statement may initially show a pending charge for the full transaction amount. When the transaction is finalized, usually one to two days later, the charge will reflect the discounted price.
Note: With Loyalty in Receipts, you can view how many points you’ve just earned by looking at your digital receipt. You can also click on your Loyalty Status page link on the receipt for more information about the Loyalty program, including available rewards and historical Loyalty activities. However, Loyalty points earned only appear on digital receipts and do not appear on printed receipts at this time.
Unlinking Your Payment Cards
When you enrol in a Square Merchant’s loyalty program, you’ll receive a welcome SMS message that includes a link to your status page and information about your linked payment cards. You can unlink any payment cards from the Loyalty status page.
Reward Redemption Frequently Asked Questions
How did Square get my contact information?
After you visit a business and provide your email address to receive digital receipts via email, businesses you frequent may deliver messages via Square that include discounts and rewards, including a Loyalty program.
Note: Square Loyalty programs use your phone number to track visits and update you on earned rewards.
How do I update my email preferences for receipts from Square merchants?
Open any email receipt you’ve received from a Square merchant and click Manage Preferences. Learn more about managing your receipt preferences.
Can I redeem a portion of a reward and keep the difference for later?
Not at this time. A reward can be redeemed once. If you don’t redeem the full value, the remainder of the reward can’t be redeemed at a later time.
