How to sell gift cards at the register

2. Scan the UPC on the gift card package. This will post the Ace Gift Card.
3. Input the quantity of cards and dollar amount, if applicable. Note: Fixed price Ace Gift Card SKUs automatically load.
4. Total out the transaction and accept payment.
5. This returns you back to posting to activate the card. Either swipe the card or scan the barcode (i.e. the card number).

Establish the following settings:

Option #	Description	Value	Reason
2149	Allow barcode activation of FDMS gift card	Y = Yes	Allows you to successfully scan the barcode of an Ace gift card at POS
2150	Default value for FDMS gift card activation method	B = Barcode Scan	Provides ability to scan or swipe Ace Gift Cards at POS

• These options are visible only if option 5360 (Gift/Cash card type) is set to C=FDMS/ValueLink
• For more information: Ace Gift Card Ace Way of Retailing best practice documentation
• Additionally, the magnetic stripe remains available for activation without the carrier or redemption.
