Manually adding a gift card to a client’s profile allows it to be automatically available as a payment option when checking out a purchase for that client in POS. This article walks you through how to add a gift card from the client’s profile.
Things to know:
- The ability to manually add gift cards on a client’s profile is governed by the "Accessing Gift Cards" access control setting.
- By default, gift cards can be added to a client’s profile without payment. However, if the "Prevent adding a gift card to a client record without taking payment" hidden setting is enabled, the system will prevent adding a gift card unless payment has been received.
- When adding a gift card, you can set an expiration date—this is controlled by the “Enable Gift Card Expiration” setting. Learn more here.
- You can enter a custom gift card number, or leave the field blank for the system to generate one automatically.
- You can monitor gift card activity by clicking the "Audit Trail" link within the client’s profile. Learn more here.
