Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get physical plastic cards printed?
You can print barcode or mag-stripe cards with any standard vendor. SalesVu will recognize the codes seamlessly.
Can I use gift cards for issuing store credit?
Yes, issuing store credit onto a digital or physical gift card is a standard workflow in the POS.
Are there transaction fees for redeeming a gift card?
No. Unlike credit cards, redeeming a gift card balance does not incur payment processing fees.
Is this module included with SalesVu, or do I need a separate plan?
It is part of the SalesVu platform. Your account team can confirm what is bundled in your specific plan and whether any optional modules apply to your setup.
Does it require new hardware?
Generally no — it runs on the same iPads, terminals, kiosks, scanners and printers most SalesVu accounts already use. Your account team can confirm peripheral compatibility for your setup.
How long does it take to get started?
Most operators are live during their onboarding plan. Multi-location and multi-concept rollouts run on a per-site schedule with your account team.
Does it work across multiple locations?
Yes. SalesVu is built multi-location, with per-location configuration and a rolled-up corporate view for owners and regional leads.
Where does this module get its data?
From the SalesVu data layer — POS, eCommerce, Inventory, CRM and loyalty — so every module reads from the same operational source of truth.
Will anything send or change without my approval?
By default, drafts and recommendations require a human approval step. You can later opt in to auto-actions for specific recurring workflows once you trust the outputs.
Does this work for restaurants and retail or just one?
Both. SalesVu is one platform across retail, restaurants, salons, studios, venues and grocery, so the same module fits whether the SKU is a t-shirt, an entrée, a service or a class.
Are digital and physical gift cards both supported?
Yes. Digital cards can be sold online and physical cards can be sold and reloaded at the POS, all on the same balance ledger.
Can gift cards be used across multiple locations?
Yes. Balances are platform-wide, so a card sold at one site can be redeemed at another.
Can I run gift card promotions (bonus value, BOGO)?
Yes. Promotional gift card mechanics — bonus value, seasonal bundles, BOGO — are configurable from the marketing module.
Are gift cards in the same customer record as loyalty?
Yes. Card balances, loyalty points and membership status all sit on one customer record.
