Permissions

Control who can adjust gift card balances with the “Edit Gift Card Balance” permission. Edit permissions in your Manage Business Settings > Permission Groups, then click Edit Group next to the group you want to update. From there, enable the desired permissions under the Point of Sale section.


Deactivating Gift Cards to Recycle Them

When a client has used up most of their balance, you don’t want to waste your branded gift card or throw it away. Now, you can recycle physical gift cards by deactivating and wiping the balance from both the Sales tab and the client’s profile.

From the Sales Tab

  1. Navigate to the Sales tab and click the Gift Cards section.
