Restrictions

Restrictions can be used to stop users from purchasing items that they are not allowed to have. For example, a user that has been assigned to the ‘Avoid nuts’ restriction, will not be able to purchase any products that have also been assigned to this restriction. Impact Fusion contains the current 14 allergens as required by EU FIC regulations, but more can be created as required.

*Restrictions can also be used to stop the purchase of items on other grounds. In the past, we have had parents not wishing to have their child eat cakes. We will use this scenario as an example. If a product is marked against this restriction, when a user that is also marked as having this restriction attempts to purchase this item at the Point of Sale, the following error will be displayed and the item will not be added to the transaction.
