One of the best ways to retain revenue and encourage customer loyalty is through the balance system. Instead of issuing refunds, offering top-ups and gift cards increases the likelihood of customers returning while also preventing double processing fees.
With this system, you can:
- Set up top-ups with bonus credit to incentivize purchases.
- Offer gift cards that customers can send to others.
To find out the differences between Topups and Gift Cards, please refer to Payment Configuration | Gift Cards vs. Top-Ups.
How to Find & Set Up Top-ups & Gift Cards
- Navigate to the Trackman Portal
- Navigate to the Booking and Payments section on the left
- Then go to the Admin Panel to the right
- Press "Settings" > "Topups & Gift Cards"
- Click the "+" sign to create a new one or select an existing one to modify.
If "Navigation Setup" is in place but Top-ups aren’t configured, make sure to set them up. You can find a guide by clicking here: How To Add Navigation.
