NOTE:
System cannot be configured for both active gift and active clubs. Also, only one type of
purchase can happen in a transaction, regardless of the active or passive setting. In other
words, if a customer purchases a gift card, they cannot purchase a club in the same
transaction and vice-versa.
Purchasing a Wash with a Wash Code
Wash Codes are not just used for Fuel Pumps. Wash Codes can be used as a promotion sent out to
many customer in the area surrounding of the car wash. A wash code is a unique number and
cannot be reused after redemption. In WashConnect, the Ticket Generator is used to create the 5-,
6- or 9-digit Wash Codes.
Barcodes for the wash code can print on the sales receipt (the barcode scanner is optional and is
necessary to read barcodes). Customers enter wash codes or scan barcodes at the Auto Sentry or
POS. Wash Codes can be setup for promotions or prepaid washes at the fuel pumps. Wash Codes
can be received after purchasing a car wash at a fuel pump terminal on your property or at a
different location. Fuel Pump interface is needed to receive the wash code from the fuel pump
terminal.
A wash code is unique. Once a wash code is redeemed, that wash code is no longer valid.
Wash Codes used with Paid Tickets
For example, a car wash sold at a fuel pump might generate a wash code. The customer pays for
the wash at the fuel pump and receives a paid ticket or receipt with a five-digit wash code. The
customer can redeem the wash at the Auto Sentry®
flex by selecting Enter Wash Code button on
the screen and then entering the wash code from the fuel receipt. A barcode scanner can also read
the receipt’s barcode for the wash code. A barcode scanner is optional and can be installed at any
time and may incur additional fees.
Wash codes are linked to the Paid Ticket transaction type in the Profile’s Schedule dialog box.
