# Gift Card Processor

### **Overview**

This setting allows for the gift cards to be manually entered, to prevent verification, or to run tests. Select the Gift Card provider from the drop-down menu.

**STS Gift Cards:**

User must provide the merchant name/number and the terminal ID.

The user can allow hand keyed transactions, rather than just swiping the card, by checking "manual entry of card details"

### **Sale and Activation**

Ring up the Gift Card as an item and select dollar amount at checkout. Once you have a receipt, you will need to activate the gift card.

From the transaction screen, select the Activate/Inquiry option from the top of the page. A Gift Card Activation window will pop up. Enter Gift Card Number, transaction number from the receipt, and the dollar amount. Select Activate Gift Card. You can now accept this gift card as a form of payment.

To check the balance of the card, you will go back to the transaction screen, select the Activate/Inquiry option from the top of the page. Enter the card number and select Balance Inquiry.
