Connecting VEXiON cards to the OBERON POS means loyalty cards are handled at the till. When a customer scans their card, OBERON asks VEXiON who they are, shows their points or discount, and applies it to the bill.
This is the overview. The rest of the OBERON guides cover connecting and setup, card types and settings, and working at the till.

​
What the OBERON integration is

It links your VEXiON loyalty program to OBERON’s external loyalty card system. OBERON calls VEXiON whenever a card is scanned, and again when the sale is recorded.
  • Reward cards: the customer earns points on a purchase and can spend them as money off a later bill.
  • Discount cards: the customer’s spending is tracked and their discount tier is applied automatically. These are the two card types OBERON supports, see card types and settings.
  • One address per shop: every till in a shop is set up with that shop’s address, and any number of tills can share it.
  • Per shop reporting: if you have more than one shop, each sale is recorded against the shop whose address the till used.
OBERON does not tell VEXiON which shop a till is standing in. That is why each shop gets its own address: the address the till was set up with is how VEXiON knows where the sale happened.

​
How it works

OBERON talks to VEXiON several times during a single sale.

​
What you need before you start

1

OBERON with the external loyalty system enabled

Your OBERON installation must have the external loyalty card system switched on. If you cannot find those settings, ask your OBERON supplier.
2

A VEXiON card

At least one Reward or Discount card created in VEXiON.
3

VEXiON PRO plan

POS integrations are not included in VEXiON ONE. You need the VEXiON PRO plan.
4

Admin access to VEXiON

You need to be an administrator of your VEXiON account to see the integration settings.

​
What the cashier sees

When a card is scanned, OBERON shows the customer’s name and their available benefit:
  • On a Reward card, the point balance and the value of those points.
  • On a Discount card, the current discount percentage.
If OBERON says the card was not found, the card belongs to a different business, or the till is connected with the wrong address. See connecting and setup.

​
Limits

  • OBERON does not support Stamp cards. Use Reward or Discount cards.
  • Each shop can be connected to one POS system only. If a shop is already connected to Dotykačka, Storyous or Papaya, it will not be offered for OBERON until you disconnect the other one.
