Gift Cards

With Selflane, you can choose to have any or all of the three types of gift card programs.

1. eGift Cards via Selflane
2. Physical Gift Cards via ValuTec
3. Paper Gift Certificates

eGift Cards

eGift cards are sold on Selflane.com. You can turn it on/off in the back office. Here are the main features:

• Can be purchased online anytime, including during closed hours. Customers don't have to come to your restaurant to purchase the gift card.
• Customers can send the gift card to family, friends, and colleagues via email.
• Customers can redeem the gift card either online or in the store.

There is no monthly fee or setup fee for eGift cards - you can turn it on or off at any time. We charge a 3% commissioning fee for every sold eGift card. See details in Pricing.

Physical Gift Cards

Physical Gift Cards are the traditional gift cards that you can issue to customers. We have an integration with ValuTec to issue and process cards with them. Here are the main features:

• You can have your own branded gift card design.
• The usage is similar to a credit card, which customers will typically be familiar with.

There are usually fees in purchasing physical gift cards, setting up merchant accounts, and processing transactions. The fee depends on the agreement between you and the card processor.

Paper Gift Certificates

Paper Gift Certificates are another traditional gift card that you can issue to the customers. They are usually a much less expensive option. If your certificate has a unique number on it, our POS can record that unique number and help you track what is redeemed from those certificates.

Summary

When you need a solid validation system for all your issued and redeemed gift cards, we think the eGift Cards is the best option.
