In the retail7 POS system, a gift card item has already been created for the cash register. This allows the customer to sell gift cards up to 200 euros. If this is not the case, the item must be added independently under Master data → Item → Item list. This is the only way that the gift card then can be sold as an item in the cash register.
To create an individual gift card after creating the gift card as an item, open Master data → Gift cards → Gift cards. Simply add them or create a batch.
NOTE: Under System Settings → More Settings → Gift Cards, you can see if there is already an item for selling gift cards in the checkout. However, this should have time limited validity. This means, that after a certain time the validity period must be extended. Here you can also increase or decrease the maximum charge from the standard 200 euros.
