Objective: To provide instructions on the settings to activate gift card usage in standalone mode as well as settings for reintegration after standalone mode has ended.
The register setting locations for BO and FO respectively are:
- Back Office > Settings > Front Office > Register
- Front Office > Settings > Registers > Registers
In standalone mode, there are two different options for handling gift card reintegration:
Checking the “Checking the link for payments” register setting in the Standalone mode tab will result in the following processes for handling gift cards:
- Option unchecked: No verification of the certificate number, neither for input, nor for receipt reintegration.
- Option checked: A data entry window will open to input certificate information (number, amount, etc.). e.g.
Below is an example of how this looks after using gift card payment method in standalone mode
These options are changed on a per register basis by going through Front Office > Settings > Registers > Registers, or alternatively, multiple registers at a time through batch modification
There are several options available when re-integrating:
- Checked = Automatic integration: A trace is added to the event log. (Best Practice)
- Unchecked = Manual integration: If the corresponding certificate is valid, it will be integrated. Otherwise, multiple criteria will be proposed to the customer to match the gift certificate used with an existing one, if the Authorize search for gift certificates at register access right is enabled. If you quit without selecting, the certificate will be integrated without being linked to an existing certificate. A trace will be written to the event log.
