Activating, Issuing, and Reloading a Stored Value Gift Card Process

When a user is activating, issuing, or reloading a gift card, the user will first have to select a profile from the Profile Search screen. Once the user has selected the profile and selected the OK button on the Profile Search screen, the Payment screen is displayed to select the payment method for how the gift card will be paid for.

Cash Payment Method

When Cash is selected for the payment method and the user selects the Post button, the Gift Card transaction will then be sent to the SV Interface for approval. The Stored Value Account Maintenance screen will then be displayed again notifying the user if the gift card transaction was successful or failed. If the transaction was approved/successful, the user will click the OK button on the Successful message prompt and the Balance amount is then populated in the OPERA Transaction grid and the gift card can be given to the guest. If the transaction Fails, the user will have to select the OK button in the Failed message prompt and the Payment screen is displayed to refund the payment back to the guest.

Credit Card Payment Method

When a Credit Card is selected for the payment method and the user selects the Post button, the credit card transaction is sent for approval. If the credit card transaction is declined, the Payment screen will then be displayed again for another Payment Method to be selected or to close out of the gift card process completely. Upon successful approval and settlement of the credit card, the Gift Card transaction is then sent to the SV Interface for approval. If the transaction was approved/successful, the user will click the OK button on the Successful message prompt and the Balance amount is then populated in the OPERA Transaction grid and the gift card can be given to the guest. If the transaction Fails, the user will have to select the OK button in the Failed message prompt and the Payment screen is displayed to refund the payment back to the guest.
