Redpoint has a built-in Gift Card product. For physical gift cards, SEE HERE for barcode information.

Physical Cards Sold In The Gym

Add Gift Card as a Quick Button in POS

Be sure to select the Gift card PRODUCT and not a Gift card Plan.  The Gift Card Plan can not be sold in the Front Desk Cart.

Pop up message to staff at POS?

If you want to add a message pop up to your staff when you select this product, add it in settings. 
You CANNOT add a staff note on the Gift Card from Products.
 

Go to Manage > Org & Facility Settings > Facility:[Gym Name] > Point of Sale > Options. You will locate a text box at the bottom of Options. Common uses would be staff reminders for minimum purchase amounts for gift cards.

 

Redeeming a Gift Card at Front Desk

Use Gift Card Towards POS Transaction

Gift Card is a Payment Method in Redpoint.  
Click Pay Other Method and select Gift Card from the Payment Methods


To put the remaining amount due on a card/cash/etc, simply check the Split Payments checkbox after adding the gift card. Now, you can select another payment type for the remaining balance.

 


Use Gift Card Towards Future Billing - Make a Payment

If a customer wants to put all or a portion of a gift card on their account to use towards next billing, Make Account Payment at POS

  1. Add the Contract Holder of the membership to the cart (that way they hold the gift card balance to put towards billing).
  2. With the cart EMPTY, click Make a Payment 
  3. Enter the amount of the gift card/amount to be applied.
  4. Use the Gift Card tender type to take payment to complete payment.
  5. The payment will apply to any current and future open invoices until fully used.

     
  • Check the customer's record - if done correctly (assuming no other open invoices) it will now show:
    • a credit amount in the Total Balance/Credit
    • the payment on the Payments tab
    • Expand the Payments tab to see what invoices it is applied to.


Check Gift Card Balance

To check the balance on a gift card, navigate to Front Desk module > Gift Card tab

Filter (at right) and scan/enter the gift card number. Adjust the Sold Date Range filter to all dates if needed.

 

If you do not see it, change the date filter. It defaults to a sold date of the trailing year. Change to All Dates when searching by gift card code if needed.


Once found, Expand the Gift Card row to see what, if anything, it has been applied to.

  • Balance is listed at Right
  • Original gift card purchase is listed last (invoices sorted newest to oldest)
  • You can Email the gift card if needed.

 

Online Gift Card Sales 

Optionally, you can choose to sell Gift Cards online with a Gift Card Plan. In order to do so, go to Build > Plans > Plan List > Gift Card.

Add a plan and edit the settings to your needs. (See more general information for Build > Plans)

A gift card plan can then be added to your Storefront and linked directly via your website.

 

Customer Redeeming Online

Customers can use gift cards to make purchases via the storefront.

When they go to check out now, Redeem Gift Card is shown above the credit card entry.



 

 

Add Funds to a Gift Card

To add funds to an existing gift card, the gift card balance must be $0. 

We do not reccommend you reload gift cards unless you reload it for the same customer.  

The original purchaser of the gift card will always find the gift card number on their invoice in the customer portal.


 

Remove Funds from a Gift Card

Though Gift Cards are typically non-refundable, you may find you need to refund or remove a balance from a gift card.  This option works if the payment is still new enough to be refunded.

 Void Gift Card Invoice; Refund Payment

Void the Gift Card but keep payment (unless it's same day and the charge has not settled, then just void both invoice and payment).

On the Customer's Payment's tab, refund the payment that is now unapplied (since invoice was voided)

Check the balance in Front Desk > Gift Cards to confim it is gone.

 

To Refund only part of the Gift Card, create a credit on their account using the gift card product at POS.  

Once there is a credit balance on the account, go to the Payment on the customer's record and click Refund. Because there is a credit balance, the system will ask if you want to refund the credit balance from that payment.  Click YES and the credit balance will be refunded via the payment
