Redeeming deals
QR codes, promo codes and in-store verification.
You choose the redemption method that works best for each deal.
| Method | Best for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| QR code | In-store deals | A QR code is generated for each offer; it is scanned at checkout |
| Promo code | Online orders | The shopper enters the code on your e-commerce site |
| In-store verification | Stores without a scanner | Staff verify the offer manually |
QR codes at the register
If your store uses a POS terminal connected to MyNearStores, the scan starts a short-lived redemption session on that terminal. The register checks the session is still valid, applies the offer, and marks the session as used, so the same scan cannot be redeemed twice.
Sessions expire after 30 minutes by default. If your register software is built by a POS partner, they set this up for you. To link Square or Lightspeed Retail yourself, see Connect your POS.
Digital receipts
When your store connects its POS (Square or Lightspeed Retail) from the merchant dashboard, purchases by MyNearStores members can come with a digital receipt that the shopper can open, print or save.
