Selling and redeeming gift cards at the POS
Gift cards are sold like any other item and redeemed like any other payment. This guide covers both at the POS. Issuing, adjusting and looking up cards in BREW POS Admin is covered in Managing gift cards.
Sell a gift card
1. Add a Gift Card item to the ticket. It is usually in the Misc category.
2. When asked, swipe the card on the chip reader (Figure 1). For a card with no magnetic strip, tap Manual Entry and type the card number.
Figure 1. Swipe the card, or tap Manual Entry
3. Type the amount to load onto the card, and tap the green check mark (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Type the amount to add to the card
4. Take payment for the ticket as normal.
Pay with a gift card
1. Tap Pay, then Gift Card.
2. Swipe the card on the chip reader. If the card has no strip, or the strip is damaged, tap Manual Entry and type the number.
3. Type the amount to take from the card. It starts at whatever is left to pay on the ticket (Figure 3). The card's remaining balance and recent history are on the left.
