Selling Electronic Gift Cards in POS

Modified on Thu, 4 Sep at 8:37 AM

Selling electronic gift cards through the POS is a convenient way to boost sales while offering clients flexible gifting options. This article explains how to sell electronic gift cards in-store.

Things to know:

The ability to sell electronic gift cards in POS is controlled by the "Creating Tickets" access control setting.
Gift cards sold without being assigned to a recipient will appear on the purchaser’s profile. You can edit the gift card later to assign it to a recipient if needed. This feature is controlled by the “Display Unassigned Gift Cards On The Purchaser's Profile” setting under Business Setup > Settings. Example: If you sell a gift card to John via POS without specifying a recipient, the gift card will display on John’s profile. You can then edit it later to add recipient details.
You can configure expiration for gift cards sold to clients. This functionality is governed by the "Enable Gift Card Expiration" setting. Learn more here.
Gift card purchases can be redeemed both in-store and online.
Gift card purchase details and balances can be tracked in the Gift Card reports.
