Gift Cards

In order to use TouchStore Gift Cards you will need two things:

• Set up the Gift Cards in Retail 365 Back Office
• Print the Gift Card numbers as a 1-dimensional barcode so that they can be scanned at the Till

Please Note: The format of the card needs to be 16 digits long and begin with 971012. E.g. ​9710120000000001

We recommend creating an Excel / Google Sheets spreadsheet with this number and then filling it downwards to increment the number so that you can keep track of which numbers have been used and which ones are still free. See example below:

For printing the Gift Card Number we recommend using a Linear Barcode in Code-128 format for printing on the gift Cards themselves, this is to ensure that the code will be read correctly by most 1-D or 2-D barcode scanners. See example below:

Head Office / Group Setup

​When creating the Gift Card at Head Office, you can assign the relevant value to it. TouchStore Gift Cards can be assigned a value at the Till, meaning that they can be topped up if needed, but also meaning that you could set up a batch of Gift Cards at Head Office with a value of 0.00 then get them printed, ship them out to the stores and the stores can then 'activate' them at the till by putting a balance on them.​
