The set up of the Gift Card program in System Five can generally be broken down into a few key parts
The Setup Wizard options enable the various parts of System Five. The category and inventory item set up allow the user to then start selling and redeeming gift cards. If there are pre-printed cards to be used for the gift card program, then a quantity load onto the part created is a good idea as this can be used in conjunction with Highs and Lows for reordering. If the gift card is just a normal sheet of paper run through a printer, then quantity control is not going to be needed.
The set up in this example is for printing a certificate on a regular piece of paper. If the user has some pre-printed cards, then the label design would just need to contain the transaction authorization number and new dollar values.
It is possible to have the gift card program set up to make use of an external payment provider such as FIS/Worldpay (Also known as Vantiv and Mercury Payment). This is a recommended way to set up the gift card program for use with System Five Polling or W.E.A.R.. This type of configuration is beyond the scope of this document.
