About Manually-Added Unloaded Gift Cards

A gift card number from an unloaded gift card can be manually added in the POS system via the Touch Admin software. Once the gift card number is in the system, a dollar amount can then be loaded against it via the POS front-end (as per the POS - Loading a Gift Card with a Custom Dollar Amount steps). 

After the card is loaded with a dollar amount, it can then be distributed to a resident. 

Manually Adding a Gift Card Number

To manually add a gift card number in the Touch Admin software, complete the following steps: 

1. In Touch Admin, select POS Settings > Gift Cards. The Gift Card Profile screen appears.
   
   
    
2. In the Issued Gift Cards section, click the Add a Gift Card button. The Gift Cards & Profile screen appears. 
   
   
    
3. From the Gift Profile drop-down, select the gift card profile the gift card is to be associated with. 
4. In the Identification Number field, enter the barcode number of the gift card.
5. The Notes field, Secure Code field, and Expiration Date field are optional. The Notes field can be used to identify the resident that the gift card is to be issued to after it is loaded with a dollar amount. 
6. Click Submit to apply your changes. 
7. Repeat above steps to added other gift card numbers.
