Looking up gift card balance

The AS POS application allows associates to check the remaining balance of gift cards and other gift card types such as merchandise cards and promo cards.

When integrated with the Verifone Point payment solution, the POS application performs the following during balance inquiry:

• Checks if the payment solution or the PIN pad is online before proceeding to the balance inquiry. If the payment solution or the PIN pad is offline, the POS displays an information message and cannot complete the balance inquiry.
• Displays an information message if the customer canceled the balance inquiry on the PIN pad.

When integrated with Common Client, the POS displays an information message and cannot complete the balance inquiry when the PIN pad is offline or when the transaction has been declined.

For more information about payment solutions, consult with an NCR Representative.
