Setting Up Gift Cards
To issue and accept gift cards through the Point of Sale entry window, select TSYS® Genius™ with Gift Cards from the Authorization Software drop-down in the Sales Point of Sale Preferences window.
Before you can issue or redeem gift cards, you must set up an account with TSYS and enter your connection information in the TSYS Setup window in Controller. If you have any questions about using TSYS for credit, debit, or gift card processing, contact your account executive at (800) 388-3038.
You can define gift card options, such as minimum and maximum amounts and when to give cash back on remaining balances in the Sales Gift Card Options window.
To set up gift card options:
1 In the Sales module, select Options > Set Up Gift Cards from the left navigation pane.

3 Use the check boxes to specify what options you will permit.
You can set gift card permissions for specific salespeople on the Gift Card Options tab of the Sales - Salesperson Codes window.
You can also specify additional text that should appear on your sales receipts for transactions that include gift cards. Refer to Specifying Invoice and Receipt Formats for information on setting up your receipt formats to include information specifically related to gift cards.
The Gift Card Report includes information about outstanding gift cards and can be an important management tool to track the liability amount of outstanding gift cards.
