Purchasing a Gift Card in-person

With this latest update to joe Point of Sale, your baristas will notice they have two options in selling gift cards at the register.

Customers can purchase a single gift card, or bulk purchase up to 10 gift cards for a group of friends, family members, or other community members.

Check out this article linked here to go through both scenarios for your baristas.

Redeeming Gift Cards in-person

With this latest update, there are 3 different scenarios of how a customer will be able to pay at the register using their gift card balance based on if the customer is a member of the rewards program or not.

Customers who are a member of the rewards program get the most personalized and rewarding experience. After a customer has inputed their Rewards phone number, baristas will notice the Balance of their gift card in the customer profile at checkout. From here, customers can choose to pay with their physical gift card via a swipe with a universal card reader, or they can use the same gift card balance and pay digitally with their unique 4-digit PIN.

If customers chooses to opt-out of the rewards program they can pay with a swipe.

This article linked details each of these options that demonstrates the barista checkout experience and the customer checkout experience.
