Step 1: Contact your point-of-sale system provider and let them know that you will be purchasing gift cards directly from a gift card manufacturer.
Step 2: Request “card data” from your POS provider, which will be encoded onto your card’s magnetic stripe or used to print barcodes onto your card, depending on the type of card reader that your POS system uses.
Step 3: Send your data, along with your artwork for gift card printing, to the gift card manufacturer.
