Option #2 – Using pre-printed, pre-encoded cards
To use pre-printed, pre-encoded cards:
1. In-House Cards products must be configured to:
• Use DebitWare activation on the Action tab.
• Have a pre-set amount loaded onto the card. This is done by setting an amount in the Amount automatically loaded on the DebitWare Invoice on the DebitWare tab.
2. Visitors/guests purchase the card online, and then are prompted to look up or enter their guest information.
3. Visitors/guests check-out and pay, at which point the sale is saved by E-Commerce module.
4. To fulfill the order, run the Saved Sale Audit Report. Then, at a salespoint:
• Recall the sale
• Swipe the pre-encoded card into the Pass Swipe tab
• Finalize the sale
• If desired, an address label can be printed by attaching a layout to the In-House Cards item. That way it would automatically print when the sale of the In-House Cards item is finalized.
Note: After the initial activation, visitors/guests can reload their In-House Cards items online. They can also use their In-House Cards items as a form of payment for online purchases.
If stock is pre-printed by an outside vendor, the information to be encoded is %B followed by the up to nineteen digit number on track 1. The information can also be put on track 2 if track 1 is needed to encode a pass or some other number on the cards. If you choose to purchase blank card stock, and print and encode at your site, the cards must be PVC cards with high-coercivity magnetic stripes, thirty mm; CR80. Please contact Siriusware Technical Support before pre-printing your cards to discuss your options.
Siriusware Inc. strongly recommends pre-printed, pre-encoded cards for use as gift cards. For season passes or membership IDs, blank cards are fine because you need to print photos, etc., on each one.
