Processing a Sale with Gift Cards

A sales transaction paid for with a gift card is very similar to a regular sale paid for with a credit or debit card. The only difference is that you need to confirm that the card being used to pay is a gift card. The following procedure describes how to process a sale using a gift card.

To process a sale using a gift card:

1. Begin your sale as you would normally, based on the Secure Payment module you are using:

   • App to app: enter the sale amount on the 3rd party terminal application.

   • Gateway: enter the sale amount on the POS to initiate the Secure Payment application on the terminal.

   • SecurePay: enter the sale on the POS to initiate the payment on the terminal.

   • SecureTable: enter the sale on the POS and then retrieve the bill when you've arrived at the table with the payment terminal.

   • Standalone payment: enter the sale amount on the terminal and touch OK.

2. On the Total Sale screen, touch the Gift card button; if the payment process includes a tip, select the tip and then touch the Gift card button on the Total Sale screen.

If neither the operator nor customer touch the Gift card button before swiping the card, the terminal will present the following screen:

Tap Yes to continue the transaction using a gift card or No to return to the Total Sale screen to use a credit or debit card.

NOTE: If you are using the Gateway module, the gift card is recognized without requiring user input and the Secure Payment application automatically launches the appropriate gift card application.

3. The Secure Payment application then launches the required gift card processing application (DataCandy or Freebees) to complete the transaction and print the transaction receipt.

4. When the gift card sale is complete, the terminal leaves the gift card application and returns to the main Secure Payment application screen.
