Gift Added To Quick Chip

TranSend, an infrastructure provider to the payments industry, is pleased to announce that it has added gift card support to its Quick Chip implementations in the United States.

Store gift cards are ultra-important to retailers because they drive store visits, brand awareness and cash flow.

Unfortunately, some merchants are now getting cut off from their own gift cards.

The reason has to do with newly installed EMV card readers, more precisely, the faulty software on which they are running.

Outdated EMV software doesn't support more than one application on a card reader and cannot be easily customized. This means that programs like gift card, frequent shopper and patron enrollment are all dead in the water. For most merchants, the situation creates a material, financial loss. Not good!

There is no reason that an EMV-NFC upgrade should cripple business.

RevChip is modern EMV software whose multi-app architecture enables numerous operations at the point of sale. Existing POS programs are readily supported and new ones can be configured into card readers quickly and easily. RevChip works with any gift or loyalty system and supports a wide variety of features, including:

• POS issuance and redemption
• POS reloading, auto-reloading
• Card-to-card transfers
• Programmable rules for reward thresholds
• Varied redemption: free item, $ Off, % Off
• Integration with POS and CRM systems
• Text notifications
• Franchisee reporting

​EMV need not be a huge expense or a technology hassle. Merchants should be able to preserve their current POS programs and implement chip cards and Apple Pay in just a few days. If you agree, check out RevChip.
