Worldpay (Vantiv) Gift Cards |
|
IMPORTANT: Worldpay Gift Cards use magnetic stripes which 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.
For selling Gift Cards you must create an inventory item with the primary SKU of GIFTCERT which will trigger various procedures in POSitive. When you sell one you will be prompted for a number and a value. Swipe the card or type in the number imprinted card. The value is recorded by Worldpay.
For redeeming Worldpay gift cards you process an invoice and wait until the Tender screen; select Gift Card and swipe the card or manually type in the number. POSitive will then contact Worldpay and confirm the value of the card.
Worldpay gift cards can be "recharged" or "reused." POSitive will contact Worldpay and report if that particular card number has been used or not.
You may used the Inquiry feature (Price Check, Gift Certificate, Age Verification) to check the value of a card.
Card holders may check the value of the card at any time by scanning the QR code, or going to the web site printed on the back of the card.
