Gift Card

Check the type of gift cards as appropriate.

Allow Complimentary Gift Cards

If the company creates complimentary gift cards for customers, check this option to create an additional payment method called "Complimentary" within the Gift Card Payment screen. A complimentary gift card does not require a payment to finalize the transaction. Complimentary gift cards will be charged against the indicated general ledger account number (specified in the drop down menu beside this option).

With the Complimentary Gift Card option selected, an additional payment type of "Complimentary" is included on the Gift Card Payment screen. Complimentary payments only apply to creation of gift cards.

Use Pre-Printed Gift Cards

Selecting this option if you are using a pre-printed gift card. This option is necessary in creating your own in-house pre-printed gift cards. They can be in paper or card form (depending on your preference). See Gift Card Maintenance for more information.

Utilize both In-house and POINT Gift Cards

Checking this option will allow you to process gift cards internally and through the MX units. Selecting this option will display the following screen when selecting the Gift Card option in the POS module or as a payment type.

GC Charge Comment Item

The comment item selected here will be used to display the internal gift certificate number created when a house charge is used to pay for an internal gift certificate.

Utilize Gift Card Multi-Store

This option is only available to installations which have the Multi-Store Gift Card installed.

RepeatRewards Gift Card

Using a Gift Card during a transaction

When this payment type is used, the system will continue to credit the Gift Card Liability account indicated in GL Accounts - Page 2, but the debited account will be the expense account indicated within the Gift Cards setup instead of the selected cash account corresponding with the payment type.
