Example of how gift cards and loyalty programs work

• Customer asks for a gift card for any dollar amount they want (minimums can be set)
• cashier collects payment and takes a new gift card and swipes it through the POS or terminal and adds the prepaid amount to the card.
• The customer is handed a receipt and Gift Card that they can use any time they visit.
• Gift Cards are transferable and can be given to family and friends.
• The Cards can be reused and recycled and sold to another customer after balances are redeemed.
• Our programs allow for a loyalty or points system to be attached so that customers can add value to their card and earn rewards based on how much they spend in your business.
