Gift card program

The Moneris Gift Card program allows you to sell stored-value cards for future purchases in your store. Gift cards can help to boost sales, extend your product line, and build your brand.

To sign up for the Gift Card program, contact Moneris.

Setting up your terminal for gift cards

No additional configuration is required to use gift cards on your terminal. Your existing settings will apply to gift card transactions.  For example, if clerk IDs are turned on, you will be asked to enter a clerk ID when performing a gift card transaction. If tip entry is turned on, your customers will see the tip prompt on gift card Purchases.

Navigating the terminal for gift card transactions

Review the following navigation information for using the Gift Card program on your Moneris terminal.

§        Some gift card transactions are integrated into the main Transactions menu. This means you don’t have to go into the Moneris Gift menu to perform them. Simply begin the transaction as you would for any card. At the “Tap, insert or swipe” prompt, the terminal will recognize when a gift card has been swiped by the customer. The integrated gift transactions include:

§        Purchase

§        Refund

§        Void

§        Balance Inquiry

§        All gift card transactions can be performed from the Moneris Gift menu. This menu has additional functions which are not integrated into the main Transactions menu, such as gift card activation/load and deactivation. To access the Moneris Gift menu, start at the Main menu, tap Transactions, Additional transactions, then Moneris Gift.

Note:      If you wish to manually enter a gift card number, you must start the transaction from the Moneris Gift menu.
