Bank Gift Card

FPOS allows users to interface with third party gift card management processors, such as Mercury Payment Systems. Users can configure processor information in the Back Office and are responsible for obtaining any required third party settings. Beginning in version 5.0.94.2, users processing credit cards with the Credit Card Module can authorize bank gift cards using the DSIClientX option.

As of version 5.0.94.12, FPOS will print a chit containing balance information when issuing or reloading a Bank Issued Gift Card on the Front End. No settings are required to use this feature, and the chit will print automatically at issue or reload. Also, as of version 5.0.94.12, a Bank Gift Card Auth slip will be printed when a sale is settled using the Bank Issued Gift Card media type. Be sure to configure the Bank Gift Card Auth Slip in System Settings.
