Gift card purchase: bar code scan

If your Moneris gift cards have a bar code on the back, you can scan the bar code to enter the card information instead of having the customer tap or swipe the card.

  1. Start at the Purchase screen. This is the default transaction.

If your terminal is at a different screen, tap the Main menu  icon, then tap Transactions.

  1. Tap the card entry field (Tap, insert or swipe) to display the card entry options.
  1. Tap Scan, then Ok.
  1. Enter the purchase amount, then tap the OK ◯ key.

Note: The order of these initial steps is flexible. You can enter the purchase amount first, or you can choose the method of card entry first. Both will work.

  1. Hold the gift card below the terminal so that the bar code is visible on the screen. The application automatically reads the bar code and retrieves the card number. 
  1. Tap the CVV field, enter the card verification value (CVV) from the back of the card, then tap the checkmark. Tap Confirm to continue.
  1. Pass the terminal to your customer so they can respond to the customer prompts. 
  1. If tip entry is enabled, the customer enters a tip (or no tip).

The “Processing, please wait” message may appear.

  1. Once the purchase is approved, the “How would you like your receipt?” prompt appears, showing the available options for receiving a receipt: Print, Text, Email, and No Receipt.
  2. The customer selects a receipt format (or no receipt) by tapping one of the options on screen. If the customer chooses Text or Email, they are prompted to enter the appropriate information.

Note:      You can choose which receipt options are shown. Refer to Receipt settings.

  1. The customer passes the terminal back to you, as directed by the application.
  2. The application prints receipts if requested. 
  • If the customer requested a printed receipt, give them the cardholder copy. 
  • If you enabled merchant receipt printing, keep the merchant copy for your records.
  1. When the “Transaction complete” prompt appears, tap OK to return to the default transaction screen.
  1. The default transaction screen appears.

The application is ready to process your next transaction.
