Description

  The present invention relates to a point service of a POS device.

  Conventionally, in a retail business such as a supermarket, an identification card is issued to a member as a customer service for acquiring fixed customers.

  Then, when the identification card is presented at the time of the transaction, points are given to the customer according to the amount of transaction. A so-called point service is introduced in which points are managed for each customer and profits such as issuance of service tickets and discounts are returned according to accumulated points.

In the point service, since past transaction results are reflected in the benefits, sales promotion can be promoted. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
JP 63-014297

However, if the customer purchases a product of 30,000 yen or more in cash and outputs a receipt indicating that the POS device has a deposit of 30,000 yen or more, the store must bear a 200 yen stamp tax.
However, if a product of 30,000 yen or more is purchased in cash, a taxable sentence will not be created unless a receipt is output, and it is not necessary to pay a stamp tax under the Stamp Tax Act. In such a case, as long as a receipt is not required, it is advantageous for the customer to receive a reward (for example, points) equivalent to a stamp tax borne by the store. On the other hand, if the store pays the above 200 yen as it is, returning it to the customer as a point will reduce the burden on the store and lead to customer service. In view of such problems, the present invention proposes a POS device and a program for the POS device that can make an advantageous transaction for both customers and stores.

  The POS device of the present invention is a POS device having a first privilege granting unit that grants a privilege according to a transaction amount, and at the time of settlement of a transaction, a receipt is required for inquiring about whether or not a receipt is issued describing transaction details When a non-inquiry means, a first selection information acquisition means for acquiring selection information on whether or not a selected receipt is necessary, and receipt issuance unnecessary are selected and the transaction amount is a taxable amount, It is the structure which has the 2nd privilege provision means which provides a privilege.

  With this configuration, when the transaction amount is equal to or greater than the taxable amount, a service equivalent to the taxable amount can be provided if a receipt is unnecessary.

  In addition, when receipt issuance unnecessary is selected, an e-mail necessity inquiry means for inquiring whether or not a transaction detail notification is required by e-mail, and a second selection information acquisition means for obtaining selection information on the necessity of the selected e-mail And e-mail transmission means for notifying the transaction details to a pre-designated e-mail address when e-mail requirement is selected.

  With this configuration, a service equivalent to the taxable amount is given, and a transaction detail service is also possible.

  Further, when receipt issuance unnecessary is selected and the transaction amount is a taxable amount, a point corresponding to the taxable amount is added to a point corresponding to the transaction amount.

  With this configuration, since a service corresponding to the taxable amount is given as a point, it can be accumulated in addition to points according to the transaction amount.

  In addition, when the receipt issuance is not required and the transaction amount is a taxable amount, a service ticket equivalent to the taxable amount is given.

  With this configuration, a service equivalent to the taxable amount can be granted as a service ticket.

  In the present invention, the customer can receive a return equivalent to the stamp tax as a privilege, and the store returns the stamp tax to the customer as a privilege without paying in cash, thereby reducing the burden on the store and improving customer service. .
