About previous versions
In previous app versions, user manually entered a promo code specified on the product packaging after product purchase. At the same time, protection against automatic code selection was introduced. For the purchase of goods, user received points, which then could be exchanged for gifts.
Manual input of code was rather inconvenient for buyer, therefore, according to client’s decision in the new version of the application, manual code was replaced with a QR-code. Now, instead of points after recognition of QR-code, user receives bonus rubles with the ability of withdraw it to bank account or to mobile phone account.
