Gift, loyalty and employee access cards can be issued and managed in house so there is no need for an external program. The following guidelines should be used when ordering cards and apply to gift cards, employee access cards (and soon to be released loyalty cards):

 

Cards must be encoded on track1 AND track 2, similar to the example below. Track 3 can also be used, but not necessary. If using a 3rd party to encode your cards, obtain & test a sample card before all of the cards are encoded. The card printing company can test a card before encoding the entire batch by downloading an evaluation version of Amigo Pos.

Sample track1&2 for card #10000105:

 

%E5  EMPLOYEE ACCESS CARD     10000105?;10000105?

 

 

In the example shown above:

 track 1 start sentinel is %

 track 1 end sentinel is ?

 track 1 data is E5  EMPLOYEE ACCESS CARD     10000105

 track 2 start sentinel is ;

 track 2 end sentinel is ?

 track 2 data is 10000105

 

The tracks and start/end sentinels are configured in Back Office > Configuration > Peripherals >Magnetic Card Reader as described in the magnetic card reader configuration help topic.
