INDY POS makes it simple to sell and issue gift cards directly to customers. Gift cards can be:
Physical cards (plastic or paper) with a barcode or magnetic stripe
Printed gift cards via your receipt or ticket printer, including a QR code for redemption
Customers can use gift cards for online purchases or in-person at the POS.
How to Sell a Gift Card
Step 1: Select the Gift Card Tab
On the bottom tab bar of the POS, select Gift Cards.
Choose or enter the gift card value requested by the customer.
Example: Customer requests a $50 gift card
Step 2: Assign the Card
Click Assign Card to determine how the gift card will be issued:
Option 1 – Physical Card
Scan the barcode, QR code, or magnetic stripe on the pre-printed card.
This links the physical card to the customer’s purchase.
Option 2 – Printed Card
Skip physical assignment.
INDY will print a gift card with a QR code on the receipt/ticket printer.
⚡ If no card is assigned, the receipt QR code will serve as the customer’s gift card.
Step 3: Complete the Payment
Process payment using any available method at your site (cash, card, etc.).
Once paid, the gift card receipt prints automatically:
QR code can be scanned at POS for redemption
Code can also be entered online to use the balance
Step 4: Provide the Gift Card to the Customer
If physical card assigned → Hand over the card
If printed gift card → Hand over the printed receipt with QR code
Tips for Staff
Keep a stock of physical gift cards ready if your cinema uses them.
Explain to customers that QR codes can be used online or in-person.
Encourage customers to treat printed receipts like cash, as the QR code represents the card’s value.
