Customer's QR Code
This is what customers receive in their email. Each QR code is unique and contains all the reward information. Customers simply show this to the business staff.

Business Redemption Process
When a customer shows their QR code, the business scans it with their phone camera. This opens the redemption page where they can verify and mark the reward as used.
How it works:
- 1. Customer shows QR code to business staff
- 2. Staff scans QR code with phone camera
- 3. Phone opens pendly.org/redeem?id=[unique-id]
- 4. Staff sees customer details and reward information
- 5. Staff clicks "Mark as Redeemed" button
- 6. Reward is permanently marked as used
- 7. Same QR code cannot be used again
