This guide covers the steps to set up a members-only barrel promotion from the back office, including entry criteria, multiple entries, and virtual draws. (Not yet including SwiftPOS Touch Reception setup)


Name of Barrel Promo

  1. Enable the Promotion:

    • Tick the "Enabled" box to make the promotion live.
    • (To pause the promotion at any time, untick the "Enabled" box.)
  2. Set the Dates and Time:

    • Keep the "Combined Date/Time" box unticked.
    • Select "All" for Days of the Week.
    • Set the start and end dates of the promotion.
    • Set the time from 00:00 to 23:59.
    • Do this for both "Earn Barrel Promotion Tickets" and "Issue Barrel Promotion Tickets".
    • Set the end date to a future time, for example, 07.09.2025, or choose the desired end date.
    • Ensure all time and date boxes turn Green for the promotion to be valid.
  3. Select the "Family":

    • After setting the date and time, choose the "Family" category.
    • It’s currently set to "All", but you can select a specific group to pull data from if needed.
  4. Define Entry Criteria:

    • Under "Spend Type", select the criteria for entering the draw (Product / Money / Mix & Match).
    • Choose a product if a specific item is required for entry (e.g., Jack Daniels).
    • Set the minimum value required for entry if applicable (e.g., $10).
  5. Allow Multiple Entries:

    • Tick the "Accumulative" box to allow multiple entries per member.
    • Example: If the minimum spend is $10, a ticket will be created for every $10 spent. If Bob spends $30, he will get 3 entries.
  6. Use Virtual Drawer:

    • Tick the "Virtual Drawer" box to avoid paper-based printing.
    • Note: This feature is for members only; non-members cannot participate in a virtual draw.
  7. Auto Entry:

    • Tick "Auto Entry" to automatically enter vouchers into the barrel.
  8. Empty Barrel:

    • Use the "Empty Barrel" button to manually reset the barrel with no entries before each draw.
    • You can either allow a "Rollover" for members or start a fresh draw each week.
  9. Save Settings:

    • After completing the setup, ensure you click "Save" to apply the settings.
