Gift Cards & Certificates

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

POSitive supports the use of Gift Certificates and Gift / Loyalty Cards. Certificates and cards must have an imprinted number (alpha-numeric is acceptable) and may have a barcode or magnetic stripe.

IMPORTANT: Cards with magnetic stripes may only be read by a standard magnetic stripe reader. Credit card readers used for EMV transactions (chip cards) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE and can't be used.

Gift / Loyalty Cards may be tracked internally by your POSitive software product, and/or through a service provided by Worldpay Integrated Payments. Please note that your POSitive software product uses the card number to determine if the gift / loyalty card is tracked internally or by Worldpay. So, you may use both internal or Worldpay Gift Cards at the same time.

(NOTE: All Worldpay numbers begin with 60501100, so this sequence should never be used for any other gift / loyalty cards. When ordering cards other than Worldpay's request 6 digit numbers and NO other characters such as %&* etc.  Ask for samples so that you can test them first.)

Internal gift cards and Worldpay gift cards are also tracked differently. Please click on one of the links below to learn more.
