Procedure documentationLinking the Gift Card Balance Inquiry Function to a Hotkey

 

Once you have created a gift card definition, you can link the gift card balance inquiry function to a keyboard hotkey for quick access to that function. This is available whether a cashier is signed on or not.

The inquiry function can provide a gift card balance electronically at the POS or print out a hard copy receipt. You can control whether or not to display the balance at the POS by selecting the appropriate option in the Receipt Options section of the Register Parameters Maintenance screen. For more information, see Register Parameters. In each method, the current date, card number and gift card balance are provided.
