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 returned by the PSP and uses this configuration to determine the appropriate gift card provider. If no Provider ID is returned, or if the returned Provider ID is not configured in this module, Simphony defaults to the Tender Parameters module configuration.

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

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

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

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

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

      When performing a gift card redemption transaction, 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 used to cash out a gift card for this provider. Only pickup tenders are supported.

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