Loyalty Cards/Mag Strip Cards

Sydney042100 — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 21:19:56 GMT

Hi everyone! We have a Mug Club membership and have cards produced each year, however the cards do not swipe or even function and are more of a form of ID. Does anyone know if there is a customizable card out there with a mag strip compatible with toast? We want it swipe and start a tab for the member with their name on the tab. Any ideas? Thanks!

It should read any standard encoded magnetic stripe, do you have a link to the cards you purchase? Are you sure that the name is actually encoded on the stripe and not just printed on the outside?

Gift cards have limitations, but if you use them like Manager swipe cards, any card with a magnetic strip should work. I listed all the articles I could find that deal with this sort of thing. If you can give me some links and more information on the card you think you might use, I can ask my team for more details!
