Toast Gift Card Activation Receipts

[nbunda]

The platform release notes for app version 2.80 mention setting up Gift Card activation receipts.

It says there should be a blue banner on the Gift Card Setup page to turn these on, but I see no such setting. Has anyone been able to set these up yet?

Not on 2.80 yet to test it, but there are usually several different builds of the release and the release notes just outline what will be in the final release, you may just still be one a build that it is not part of yet.

Hi - Does this essentially mean that we can print out a reciept that we could provide the guest with that could ultimately replace the actual gift card? This would be helpful in the event we ran out of gift cards and the customer wants something to give as a gift? Thanks

I don't think it will replace the gift card, but it just confirms the sale and activation of it. If you wanted to use something to replace the gift card you could also take a screenshot of the Card Details window. This could serve as a temporary solution if you run out of physical gift cards and need something to provide to the customer as a gift.

I would use the E gift cards if you run out of physical ones. You can always print out the qr code for an e gift card in the back end.
