Can you run and track coupons in a store without a POS?
Yes. ReviewQR is coupon software for small businesses that keeps the whole process on a phone. Each coupon has a unique QR code, staff check it at the counter, and the code is marked as used the moment they tap Redeem. Nothing connects to your POS, so it works with any register, including a cash drawer.

At the counter
How redeeming a coupon works
STEP 1
Give the customer a coupon
Hand over a printed sticker at the counter, or send it by WhatsApp or email. Every coupon has its own code.
STEP 2
The customer shows it
On paper or on their phone. They don't install anything or sign up.
STEP 3
Staff scan it and tap Redeem
From the staff screen, scan the QR or type the code, then tap Redeem. Apply the discount at your register the way you already do.
Tracking
See what came back, without a POS report
What came back
Redeemed count and redemption rate for each campaign, updated with every scan.
Who scanned it, and when
Every redemption is logged with the staff member and the time.
A report you can keep
One page per campaign, ready to show or save as a PDF.
What this does not do
- It does not touch your register. Staff still apply the discount there, and ReviewQR does not know how much the customer spent.
- It does not work offline. Each scan checks the code live, so the phone needs Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Your options
Three ways to run coupons in a store
A notebook or a spreadsheet is fine for a few coupons a week. It gets harder once coupons are photocopied or several people work the counter.
| ReviewQR | Paper and a spreadsheet | Coupons inside your POS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stops the same coupon being used twice | Yes, a second scan is refused | Only if staff check the list | Only if your POS supports it |
| Who redeemed it and when | Logged automatically | Only if staff write it down | Depends on your POS |
| Needs a POS | No | No | Yes, sometimes with a paid add-on |
| Hardware | Any phone | Pen and paper | Your POS terminals |
| Price | From $10/month, or a pack from $3 | The cost of printing | Depends on your POS |

FAQ
Questions about in-store coupons
Can I track coupon redemptions without a POS system?
Yes. Each coupon has a unique QR code. When staff scan it and tap Redeem, ReviewQR records the time and the staff member. You see the count for each campaign and can save a report as a PDF.
Do I need to connect ReviewQR to my POS?
No. It runs on a phone next to your register, so it works alongside Square, Toast, Clover, any other POS, or a plain cash drawer.
Does the discount go through the register automatically?
No. ReviewQR tells your staff the coupon is valid and marks it as used. They then apply the discount at the register, like any other discount.
How do I stop customers from using the same coupon twice?
Give every customer a different code instead of one shared code. With ReviewQR each code works once: a second scan, a screenshot or a photocopy shows "Already redeemed" with the date and time.
What do my staff need?
A phone with a camera and an internet connection. You invite them by email from your Team page. They sign in on their phone and get a screen with the scanner and the latest redemptions, without access to your campaigns or billing. If a code won't scan, they can type it.
Do customers need an app?
No. They show a printed coupon or open the link on their phone. They don't install anything or create an account.
Does it work without internet?
No. Each scan checks the code live, which is what stops it being used twice, so the phone needs Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Can I connect it to my own system later?
Yes. The Growth plan includes a coupon API, so your own app or POS can validate and redeem codes. Nothing else on this page needs it.
How much does it cost?
Essentials is $10/month for 100 coupons and Growth is $25/month for 500. Both start with a 14-day free trial, card required. If you prefer no subscription, a one-time pack costs $0.12 per coupon, with a minimum of 25 coupons ($3).
Is this for online stores?
No. It is built for coupons redeemed in person. If you only sell online, the discount codes in your store platform are a better fit.
