You must use a gift card tender to accept a gift card as a form of payment for goods sold. You can add a tip to the payment only if the tender is set up as ‘tippable.’

If you are required to enter the gift card using a magnetic card reader, and the card is unreadable, someone with sufficient access must enter the card manually.

Cashing out a Givex gift card

• A guest hands you a Givex gift card, requesting the remaining balance of the gift card in cash back.

• If the balance remaining is within the regional restrictions, note the amount, touch the message to dismiss it, and hand an amount equal to the balance of the gift card to the guest.
