This article will cover selling a receipt printed gift card at the Point of Sale. This will print from your receipt printer with a code your customer may then use on the website or give to an operator at the Point of Sale.
Step 1 - Open a Till in the Point of Sale
In order to sell a gift card, we need to navigate to the Point of Sale. Log into your organization's Trackside site and start by hovering over Trackside in your Management Menu.
Then click on Point of Sale (POS).
This will bring you to the Start Till screen. If you need assistance starting your till, your refresher is in Open Till.
Step 2 - Add Gift Card to Cart
Click on your mapped button for a printed gift card if you set one up.
You may alternatively use the product lookup if you didn't set one up, but a button will help you find a perennial product like this faster if your screen isn't already overcrowding.
A dialog box will pop up asking you to confirm the dollar amount to be loaded to the card. Enter the desired gift card amount.
Once you have entered the amount to be loaded to the Gift Card, click Save.
Your gift card will be added to the cart.
Step 3 - Complete Transaction
Once your transaction is ready, click Checkout.
Complete the rest of the transaction as you normally would. If you need any reminders, check out Checkout.
The receipt will have a printed QR code that when scanned contains the alphanumeric string for the gift card's code, similar to how a credit card's mag stripe contains it's information as well. The alphanumeric gift card code is also printed on the right of the QR code for entering for redemption on your Trackside site.
When the gift cards are used on site, Point Of Sale receipts will contain updated balance information if your customer does not use their entire balance on one transaction.
