In order to use the Points functionality an exchange rate must be set between the Points currency and the primary currency to set how much the points are worth. The Points currency is configured in System Settings POS 2 tab (as in step 3 above) and an exchange rate from PTS (Points) into the primary currency is performed using the Currency Rate function. |

After all changes have been made restart the Merchant Central Server (MCS) and reload the POS in order to pick up the new tender type. To sell a Givex gift card, you can sell the generic item set up in step 1 above. To use the card it requires activation. |

To use the card, simply make a sale and pay for it with the Gift Card Redemption tender (Stored Value or Points) you set up in Step 2 from the list of payment tenders. Either select a preset payment amount or enter the payment amount. |
