Gift Card Options and Features

 

Tan-Link allows the use of both pre-numbered Gift Cards and paper gift certificates which the system can apply numbers to.  These can be sold in-store or online and also used for promos.  You are also able to manually add or edit gift cards, allowing you to carry over your gift card information from previous software to be recognized as a form of payment in Tan-Link.

 

To sell a gift card through the Online Shop, you will need to have gift cards of specific denominations set up as products.
