Gift Cards (POS Workflow)
This guide explains how to sell and redeem gift cards from the POS system.
Selling a Gift Card
-
Add the Gift Card product to the cart
In the POS screen, search forGift Cardand add it to the cart like any other product. -
Select the amount
Change the quantity in the cart to match the the denomination purchased. -
Complete checkout normally
Collect payment using the customer's preferred method (cash, card, etc). The system will treat it like any other product. -
Important: Create the actual gift card after checkout
After the sale is complete:- Go to Inventory > Gift Cards
- Click Add New
- Enter:
- Gift Card Code (you can scan a physical gift card that's not been programmed yet or click 'generate code' to the right for unique code)
- Amount (match the amount they purchased)
This step is required. The checkout only records the sale — the actual usable gift card must be created manually.
Redeeming a Gift Card
When a customer wants to use a gift card:
- Add items to the cart as usual.
- Above the Subtotal section, click
Apply Gift Card. - Enter the gift card code.
- The system will apply the available balance automatically.
- If the gift card covers the full amount, no additional payment is needed.
- If there's a remaining balance, collect the difference using another payment method.
Deleting a Gift Card
To remove a gift card from the system:
- Go to Inventory > Gift Cards.
- Find the gift card you want to delete.
- Click the Delete button.
- Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Deleting a gift card permanently removes it and any remaining balance. Make sure the card is no longer in use before deleting.
Notes
- Gift cards do not expire unless you manually deactivate them.
- You can check gift card balances under Inventory > Gift Cards.
