Configuring Gift Card Providers for SPI

You can configure multiple gift card providers to use with SPI. The Gift Card Provider lets you configure the transaction type.

1. Select the Enterprise, click Configuration, and then click Gift Card Provider.
2. Insert a new gift card provider record with a relevant name, and then double-click the record to open it.
3. Enter the Provider Reference. This is the Provider ID, which is obtained from the Payment Service Provider (PSP). You cannot enter duplicate Provider References.

   Simphony reads the Provider ID that is returned from the PSP and uses this configuration to obtain the specific gift card provider. If no Provider ID is returned or if a Provider ID is returned that is not configured in this module, Simphony uses the Tender Parameters module configuration.

4. Select the default transaction type value for the following fields:

   • Activate Service Charge: Select the service charge to use to activate a gift card for this provider. Only non-revenue service charges may be used.

   • Issue Service Charge: Select the service charge to use to issue a gift card for this provider. Only non-revenue service charges may be used.

   • Reload Service Charge: Select the service charge to use to reload a gift card for this provider. Only non-revenue service charges may be used.

   • Redeem Tender Media: Select the tender to use to redeem a gift card for this provider.

     When performing a gift card redemption transaction, the preambles in the Tender/Media module are not used if a Provider ID is returned in the PSP response.

   • Cash Out Pickup: Select the tender to use to cash out a gift card for this provider. Only Pickup Tenders may be used.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all gift card providers.
6. Click Save.
