Restaurant Gift Cards
Gift cards are sold in different denominations and are available from over 3,000 retail outlets around the country including supermarkets, petrol stations and more.
Set up to redeem through your business’ EFTPOS terminal, you receive the full proceeds of the sale; there is no commission or processing charge.
Like credit or EFTPOS cards, the Restaurant Gift Card has a magstripe on its reverse. Just above the magstripe is the card number and to the right of this, there is an added security feature in the form of a PIN, under a scratch panel. Your customers use this PIN number on the payment terminal to pay just like using a credit card.
