Redeeming Gift Cards: Point of Sale (POS)
1. Locate Profile: Bring them into the POS; if it is a new client, create a new profile under their name.
Pro Tip: Add the gift-giver's contact information to the new profile and add the new client's information to the Key Notes section. Doing this will prevent emails going to the recipient and alerting them of the purchase.
2. Select product and add the dollar amount requested by the Gift-Giver
Pro Tip: Create a product name "Gift Card" or "Gift Certificate" to select at the POS. If the club does not have a product, then manually add an invoice to the recipients profile and take the invoice to the POS.
3. Taking Payment: Once the invoice is in the POS, select CHECKOUT. Click CARD > ENTER. Enter the gift-Giver's information into the credit card information field.
NOTE: Deselect Store this Credit Card for future purchases?
Select No Receipt or change the email address to the Gift-Giver's email address in order for the recipient not be notified of the purchase.
4. Refund Back As A Client Credit Balance: When the Recipient comes to redeem the gift certificate, update their contact information and refund the purchase back to Client Credit Balance.
5. Recipient Makes Purchase: Bring the purchase to the POS and apply the credit balance to their purchase. You can now enable receipt with the correct email address.
