What are Gift Card and Loyalty Transactions?

As a business owner, you may want to reward your customers for their repeat business or for recommending you to their friends and family. Gift cards and loyalty programs can be a great way to do so, but they often come with complications.

Gift card and loyalty transactions refer to payments made with promotional or pre-purchased rewards, not cash or credit. While these programs can be great for establishing your brand and building a loyal following, gift card and loyalty transactions can be a headache for those who are not fully prepared on the payment-processing side.

While many gift card processors advertise solutions, they often come with hidden fees that cut into the business owner’s profits. Strong promotional campaigns reward customers and help a business grow—one shouldn’t come at the expense of the other.
