Credits are a payment object in Omneo, not a discount or incentive. When a customer redeems a Credit, it replaces a payment method rather than reducing a price. This means Credits appear at the bottom of the checkout redemption hierarchy: Benefits → Rewards → Credits → Payment Type See Credits concept page for the business context.

Reading a specific credit

Redeeming a credit

Credit redemption is typically handled at the point of sale or checkout and is recorded as a payment type on the transaction. Include credits as part of the payments array when creating a transaction, or handle redemption via your POS/eCommerce platform’s Credit integration with Omneo.
Content needed: full credit redemption flow via API, gift card creation and transfer workflow, multi-credit redemption in a single transaction, and currency conversion behaviour.

Voiding a credit

Gift cards

Gift Cards are a special type of Credit that can be transferred between customers. When a Gift Card is purchased, it is stored against the buyer’s profile until the recipient claims it. Unclaimed Gift Cards can be configured to revert to the purchaser after a defined period. To create a Gift Card credit and generate a virtual card number and PIN, contact your Omneo implementation team. The configuration involves Credit vendor setup specific to your POS or eCommerce platform.
