Vendion offers every member a public loyalty view – a page at /loyalty/:token where the guest sees balance, tier, history, and perks without logging in. The link is securely signed, valid for 365 days, and shareable via SMS or email.
Why a public view?
- Transparency: Guests asking "how many points do I have?" can check themselves
- Retention: A concrete page to bookmark – keeps the program top of mind
- Self-service: Cuts staff questions
- Campaigns: Perfect to link in SMS: "Check your Gold status here: [link]"
What the page looks like
The guest sees a minimalist, brand-colored interface (adapts to the restaurant's brand theme):
Hero
- Guest's name (or "Welcome back")
- Large tier badge with color
- Balance in points + SEK translation
- "Next tier in X SEK" (unless top tier)
Middle – Perks
- Bullet list of current tier perks
- When relevant: "Next tier's perks unlock at 18,500 SEK of 12m spend" (motivation)
Bottom – History
- Last 20 transactions in the member's history
- Format: date, kind (earned/redeemed/expired), amount, reason
- Example:
- "2 Feb 2026 – Earned 450 points (order #1234)"
- "24 Jan 2026 – Redeemed 200 points (−20 SEK on order #1220)"
- "15 Jan 2025 – 100 points expired (inactive 24 months)"
Stamp cards and gift cards (if enabled)
- Active stamp card slots show with progress bars
- Gift cards the member has sent show on a separate tab
How guests get the link
Multiple options:
1. Automatic via SMS (recommended)
- Create an automation in Marketing → Automations
- Trigger: When a member auto-enrolls
- Action: Send SMS with link: "Welcome to the club! Check your points here: [link]"
2. On receipts (if enabled in settings)
- Link printed as QR code on the receipt
- Guest scans with mobile camera
3. Via staff
- Server clicks Share link in the member profile in POS
- Link copied to clipboard or sent via SMS directly
4. Manual generation
- Admin → Marketing → Loyalty → Members → [guest] → Copy public link
Security and validity
The link is a securely signed URL pointing at /loyalty/:token. The token is bound to the customer and the restaurant and is valid for 365 days. After that the link stops working and the guest needs a new one.
Safe against:
- Link manipulation (the signature breaks)
- Reuse after expiry
- Access to other guests' data (the token is bound to a specific customer)
Note: No data beyond loyalty status leaks. No orders, no bookings, no restaurant contact info.
Regenerate a link
If a guest loses the link or it expires:
- Open the member profile
- Click Copy public link
- New link generated with 365-day validity
- Send via SMS/email
Old links can keep working until they expire (no revocation in April 2026).
Customize the look
The public view respects the restaurant's brand theme (if enabled):
- Background, text color, accent
- Logo (if uploaded)
- Typeface (within safe web-font sets)
Open Marketing → Brand theme to configure. Without customization the page uses Vendion's default style.
Planned enhancements
- QR-code scan in POS → link guest directly
- Self-service redemption via the public view (for online orders)
- Push notifications on tier upgrade
- Apple Wallet / Google Wallet integration
