NorthStar × Paytronix Integration

Paytronix loyalty and gift cards that live on the check, not beside it.

Look up the guest by phone, apply their reward or gift balance to the open check, and take payment in one flow at the POS. No second device. No slowing the line.

Runs on iPad and Windows. Configured once in ECM, deployed to every site.

The Problem

Most loyalty programs run next to the POS, with a tablet on the counter, a code the guest reads out, and a line that stalls while someone keys it in.

When rewards and gift cards aren't part of the order, staff skip them, enrollments get missed, and the data you paid for never shows up where decisions get made. NorthStar puts Paytronix inside the check on your NorthStar point of sale, without adding a step to anyone's shift.

What You Get

Gift, loyalty, and membership.
Handled at the point of sale.

Gift Cards

Sell, redeem, reload, transfer

  • Sell at preset values or open amounts
  • Full or partial redemption on any check
  • Reload existing cards with new value
  • Move a balance from one card to another
  • Cash out a remaining balance, where allowed
Loyalty & Rewards

Earned and redeemed in the order

  • Look up eligible programs on the live check
  • Validate and price the reward before payment
  • Redeem rewards as item or check adjustments
  • See a guest's enrolled programs and points
Membership

Recurring guests, scheduled orders

  • Member lookup with saved profile and card on file
  • Time-slot ordering for scheduled pickups
  • Coupons that apply automatically at checkout
  • Built for subscription and member programs

How It Works

Three steps, one workflow.

Step 01

Find the guest

Pull up the guest by phone number at the POS. NorthStar returns their Paytronix profile, loyalty account, and the programs they're enrolled in.

Step 02

Apply on the check

Eligible rewards and the gift balance apply as adjustments to the open check. NorthStar can validate and calculate the discount before payment, so the guest sees the right total.

Step 03

Take payment

The guest pays the adjusted balance. The redemption posts back to Paytronix, and the sale reports correctly: gift sales as non-revenue, item purchases as revenue.

Questions, Answered

The integration, in plain terms.

What does the NorthStar + Paytronix integration do?
It connects Paytronix loyalty, rewards, gift cards, and membership to the NorthStar POS. Staff look up a guest by phone, the eligible reward or gift balance applies as an adjustment on the open check, and the guest pays the adjusted balance, all at the terminal.
Does Paytronix integrate with NorthStar POS?
Yes. Paytronix gift cards, loyalty and rewards, and membership all run inside NorthStar Order Entry. The integration is configured once in the ECM back office and deployed to the terminals at every site.
Can staff apply a reward before taking payment?
Yes. NorthStar can validate eligible programs and calculate the reward adjustment on the check before payment, so the guest sees the discounted total and pays the correct balance.
How do restaurant loyalty programs work with a POS?
When loyalty runs inside the POS, the reward is part of the order instead of a separate step on a separate device. The cashier finds the guest, the reward prices onto the check, and the redemption posts back to the loyalty platform when the guest pays.
What gift card operations are supported?
Selling cards at preset or open values, full or partial redemption, reloading a card, transferring a balance from one card to another, and cashing out a remaining balance where local rules allow.
How do gift card sales show up in reporting?
Correctly. Selling a gift card reports as non-revenue, and the items a guest later buys with it report as revenue, so your sales numbers aren't inflated by card sales.
Does it work on iPad and Windows?
Yes. NorthStar Order Entry runs on iPad and Windows. The integration is configured centrally in the ECM back office and deployed to in-store terminals.
Who is it for?
Quick-service, fast-casual, and full-service operators, especially multi-unit brands running loyalty, gift, or membership programs that want them handled in the order, not bolted on beside it.
