Implementing gift card processing

Gift cards can be a source of revenue for your company. They can be accepted as a form of payment, sold to your customers for future purchases, and used to refund your customer when they return merchandise. Gift card transactions and validations are processed through the CenPOS credit card interface, however, there are several setups required in Distribution SX.e before you can begin to use gift cards.

Use this checklist to implement gift card processing for your company.

Note: Gift card processing is supported for the CenPOS credit card interface only.
