Gift Cards & Store Credit
Issue, redeem, and refund to store credit across web and POS.
Gift cards and store credit are working capital and customer retention rolled into one. CloudIP keeps one balance across every channel, so a card bought online redeems at the counter, and store credit issued for a return shows up on the website.
Breakage analytics inform how you accrue.
