General Usage

Many businesses want to sell and redeem gift cards. Gift cards bring new customers and repeat business. Many times gift cards are not redeemed, which can bring added profit to your business. If your current business software does not support gift cards, you can use this software to sell, redeem and track gift cards. When a customer uses a gift card to pay for an item all you have to do is scan the card and enter the amount used on the card. The data files will track what is remaining and keep historical data for history reports.

Gift Cards

This software supports the purchase and redemption of gift cards. The gift cards are printed and encoded by our company in a format that is compatible to the software. If you want your logo on your gift cards you will need to send us a gif file of your logo. There is a small setup charge for card printing (i.e. logos) and then a per card price for producing the cards. Call Business Software Solutions for current pricing.
