Bounceback or DVS campaign

Bounceback campaigns help issue coupons instantly to customers based on the current purchase or a barcode scan. Hence, you can write rules on either of the two events:

  • New Bill DVS: Lets you create rules on a new transaction
  • Scan (New Feature): Lets you create rules on a new scan event. This supports SKU/product code, promotion code, and customer included in the ‘feed’ API input. You can create conditions on product code, product brand, and product category
    Note: As only the New Transaction event was supported earlier, all the existing DVS actions will be marked with the NewBillDVS event and there won’t be any impact on the existing DVS actions.

Scope Limitation

  • The scan event works only for registered customers

  • Loyalty actions such as points allocation couldn’t be triggered for a scan event

  • Reporting on Essential Insights is not covered for the scan event

  • A customer can redeem these coupons either for the same transaction or on the next transaction by the customer.
