• In-House Cards items act like credit cards at the POS, but balances are tracked within Salesware by using accounts and invoices. Different accounts can (and should) be configured to track different In-House Cards programs.

• The level of account tracking is up to you. For instance, just one account may be configured to track all In-House Cards programs or an account may be configured per In-House Cards program. This can be taken even further by configuring an account per year per In-House Cards program by changing the account that is specified within the In-House Cards program’s action specifics prior to selling In-House Cards items for the next season or fiscal year. All new In-House Cards item would then be tracked through the new account.

• Just like credit cards, In-House Cards items must be activated. In-House Cards items are activated via Sales. Depending on the In-House Cards program, this activation can be done at the time of sale (when first issuing the card) or at a later time.

• Because card account balances are maintained using Siriusware Inc. ® account and invoice functions, they may be used only at Siriusware salespoints.

• You can have In-House Cards items printed commercially and/or pre-encoded. That way, you don’t need to print and encode every card with a card printer at the salespoints.
