Gift cards can be redeemed directly at the POS for tickets, concessions, or any eligible items sold on-site.

Customers can:

  • Scan their physical or printed gift card

  • Enter the gift card code manually (from QR or barcode)

The POS will automatically apply the balance to the purchase.


How to Redeem a Gift Card

Step 1: Build the Sale

  1. Add the items the customer wishes to purchase to the cart.

    • Example: Popcorn + Icee = $31 total


Step 2: Enter the Gift Card

  1. Customer presents either:

    • Physical/printed card with barcode or QR code

    • Gift card number from their receipt or email

  2. Redeem the card via one of two methods:

    • Scan the card with a barcode or QR scanner

    • Manually enter the number in the Gift Card box at the bottom of the POS screen


Step 3: Apply Gift Card Payment

  1. POS will display the gift card balance (e.g., $50).

  2. Apply the gift card payment to the order:

    • Example: $31 applied to the $50 gift card

  3. Confirm the transaction – the remaining balance ($19) stays on the card for future use.


Result

  • Order is completed and receipted

  • Gift card balance automatically updates in INDY


Tips for Staff

  • Gift cards can be partially redeemed; unused balances remain on the card.

  • Customers may combine gift cards with other payment methods if the balance is insufficient.

  • Always confirm balance before processing to avoid surprises.
