New feature: 1Voucher as a payment gateway
1voucher has been added as a third-party payment gateway. It allows customers to use 1voucher vouchers as a payment method in HeroTill in the following places:
Customer Portal:
- Customers have the ability to pay invoices with 1voucher vouchers
- Customers can buy vouchers on HeroTill using 1voucher
Hotspots
- Customers have the ability to buy 1voucher vouchers in hotspot
How does it work?
1voucher allows a customer to buy a voucher of a certain amount (cash value) which can be redeemed at certain vendors to pay for something.
Once a customer has bought a voucher (for a set amount), a 16-digit PIN is issued to the customer. This PIN is used as a payment method, until its initial value is exhausted. If a customer buys something for less than the initial amount issued on the voucher, they receive a change voucher, which can be used until the value is 0.
Scenario:
Jane buys a R500 voucher from 1Voucher. She buys R300 worth of data from a hotspot. She enters her 16-digit pin and receives her data.
She now had R200 left and is issued a change voucher from 1Voucher for R200 (with a new PIN).
She waits until her data is finished and spends the last R200 at the hotspot to buy more data using her new PIN.
