Adding Gift Card number to Customer Information

[DBYC]

Hi,

Under 'Customers' I can see a field that allows me to enter a 'gift card number' for each individual customer in the database (I can see it when I click on 'Edit Customer').

I can add the gift card number manually, but this is quite time consuming.

Is it possible to use the buil-in magstrip in the Square Stand to populate this field in the Customer screen? I would imagine so, as the Square Stand is able to read the Square Gift Cards.

For clarity - I am using only Square Gift Cards.

Please advise. We are a sailing club trying to use the gift card as member cards, so this feature is really important for us.

Keep up the great work!

Hey @DBYC,

Thanks for getting in touch.

You can absolutely use the swipe reader with physical gift cards! You wouldn't need to press the "Gift Card" option - once you hit "Charge" in the POS app, simply swipe the gift card, like you would tap a normal card payment.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
