Hi Folks,

We are trying to build a solution for a client who runs a restaurant. The till uses a list of predefined codes that when punched into the POS will recognise the discount. We simply want to take these codes and apply them to products in a Shopify store and when a customer purchases one, rather than receiving one of the predefined long codes back by way of a Thank You email or Order email, it simply converts the long code into a QR code or Barcode, so this can easily scanned at the till. We have installed the 3rd party app “Licence Keys & Codes” and we are able o use this to create/output licence codes based on the Gift Card amount, however we are not able to adjust this code or modify the code externally to support the QR code feature. Has anyone had any success in offering this solution and if so, what 3rd party app or approach did they take?

Hi @Cormac_Kerrigan I can help you with the custom solution for the requirement.

Further would like to know “Thank You email or Order email” which is sent to customer by some email app?

Please let me know to discuss next step
