Redeeming a Virtual Gift Card

The balance for a gift card is stored in RTS and linked to the card number. This means all you need to redeem the balance from a gift card (both physical and virtual) is the card number. When your customers receive a virtual gift card, they will get both the 16 digit card number as well as a QR code with the number encoded in it. You can either manually enter the 16 digits, or scan the QR code with a 2D bar code scanner.

Accounting

When a customer purchase is finished, the amount is immediately charged to the customer credit card and a transaction is completed with a balancing item "Unfulfilled Web Gift Sale". The customer receives a receipt email.

Virtual Cards

Within a few minutes of purchase, the system will assign a card number and fund the card number with the required amount. This transaction decreases the "Unfulfilled Web Gift Sale" item and increases the "Debit Sold" item.

Physical Cards

When a physical card is prepared for mailing, the system creates a transaction. This transaction decreases the "Fulfilled Web Gift Sale" item and increases the "Debit Sold" item.

Reports

You can view a log of Online Gift orders by going to Reports -> Mag Cards -> Online Gift Purchases.
