I don't have gift cards at all. Where do I begin?
If you don’t have gift cards at all, your first step is to enable a gift card program so you can take a gift card as a form of payment at your points of sale. The best place to start is with your payment processor, who likely also offers gift card processing. Since they already power your credit cards payments, they provide you a payment terminal and can enable gift cards to be accepted at your point of sale terminal by either swiping a mag stripe (for physical cards), scanning a barcode, or punching in the gift card number.
