External Gift Cards (through credit card processors or other gift card companies)

GIFTePay is a third-party software used to process gift cards with processors that MicroSale does not offer a direct interface with currently. You must contact Datacap Systems to purchase and set up this software. This guide will walk you through the MicroSale setup ONLY, if you need further assistance with the GIFTePay software, you will need to contact Datacap Systems directly (http://www.datacapsystems.com/giftepay/).

How to set up GIFTePay

Requirements: Install the correct version/type of GIFTePay software per the processor. It is important to note that if more than one terminal will be processing gift cards that you purchase the “multilane” GIFTePay system as well as the correct number of lanes to process from.

1. Go to Managers Menu > Register Setup > Credit Card Setup
2. Type in the name of the gift card company/processor into the “Gift Card Company Name” field
3. Type the computer name of the terminal hosting the GIFTePay software into both the “Primary Host Name” and “Secondary Host Name” fields
4. Type in the 6-digit Merchant Account Number or Store ID into the “Merchant Account Number” field
5. Leave the port set at the default value of “9100”
6. Select “Save”, when finished

Repeat the above steps on each terminal. You must type the data exactly the same each time in order for the system to function properly.

It is also important to copy the GIFTePay shortcut into the Windows Startup folder so that the software will auto-launch when the terminal is rebooted.
