Questions about Npay Connect and Runner
Should I use Npay Connect or Runner?
Use both. Npay Connect takes the payment and asks for the Naver review at the counter. Runner works on who comes in next: posts about what sells, ads timed for your quiet hours, and emails to the regulars who signed up.
Does Runner work with Npay Connect?
Yes. Npay Connect plugs into your POS, and Runner starts from the sales report that POS already makes, in Korean or English. Export the last 90 days of item sales and drop the file in. Runner keeps the totals and your best sellers' names, never who bought.
Does it work for a nail salon?
Yes. Runner starts cafés, restaurants, salons and boutiques the same way, from the till. What changes is your own sales: your best sellers, your quiet hours, your regulars.
Does Runner work for a shop or a café?
Yes. Connect Square, Lightspeed Retail, Toss Place or Toast, or drop in the sales report your POS already makes. Shopify POS works through its orders CSV, and Clover follows once Clover approves Runner. Runner keeps totals and trends, never customer names, emails or card numbers.
Which AI model does Runner run on?
The one you pick for your chief executive and each lead. It runs on the AI credits your plan includes, or on your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI or Ollama, where your vendor agreement and your rate limits apply.
Will anything go out without me?
Not until you switch the team on. Then it works inside the limits you set, and anything outside them comes to you first, with the reason. Every email also checks the contact's recorded consent and your suppression list.
