Solution for Gift Cards

 

CRM.COM software is a turnkey Real-time Loyalty Solution that is designed to help organisations set up and run gift card loyalty programmes, including one-off, pre-paid, post-paid, employee and commercial gift card programmes.

 

Gift cards are plastic cards that are very similar to debit cards. A typical gift card is pre-paid (e.g. costs €20, €50, €100) and can be used to purchase various products or services. For instance, instead of purchasing an actual gift for a friend (e.g. a book), an individual may wish to buy a gift card from his / her friend’s favourite bookstore. This saves the gift donor time and effort required to select a regular gift and gives the gift recipient the flexibility to use the card to purchase whatever gift they prefer.

 
Gift card issuers can also use gift cards as an innovative way to issue refunds and store credit as well as benefit from non-redeemed balances and purchases over and above the value of the gift card. In addition, card issuers can control how gift cards are used by setting various rules (e.g minimum / maximum gift card value, balance expiration), specifying merchant outlets where cards are accepted, etc.

Key CRM.COM Business Processes and Functions
 
  • Customer purchases a gift card at the cashier / customer service desk in store or online.
  • At the time of gift card purchase, the point of sale (POS) terminal communicates with the CRM.COM system to activate the gift card and top it up with the desired amount e.g. €50.
  • When a customer presents the gift card as payment for a particular purchase, the POS terminal communicates with CRM.COM to retrieve gift card balance and charge it with the purchase amount.
  • The transaction statement produced for the cardholder at the POS at the time of purchase details the transaction that took place.
  • The cardholder can also log into their account online and review their card balance in real time.
