Gift Cards and Cash Registers



Yes Cash Registers can integrate with your own private label Gift Cards. Now that does not mean every Gift Card company out there, but it can be done.

Don't however confuse that with the idea that every Cash Register can accept integrated Gift Cards. First of all it must be a commercial grade cash register with a serial port that can interface to a Datacap Credit Card Modem (designed just for cash registers and POS) So if you are thinking you can do this with a cheap cash register from a big box store you will be disappointed, however that does not mean you need to spend a fortune either. Cash Registers capable of Integrated Gift Card and Credit Card start at about $299.00 and up but are going to come from a commercial grade cash register dealer, not the office supply store or discount warehouse!

One Credit Card and Gift Card company specializes in Cash Register Interfaces. That company is Mercury Payment Systems and they offer a FREE Gift Card program when you use them for Credit Card. You still pay for the plastic cards but no discount or transaction fee!

Plastic Gift Cards systems are so much more secure then the standard old paper gift certificate. Even if someone stole your entire stock of cards they are useless until activated through your cash register and of course after they are activated you would have a paper trail. There are many other reasons to use a Plastic Gift Card system.

Don't be left in the past, start your own private label gift card system today. Safe and secure through a Cash Register or POS system.

Cash Register Ink Ribbons and Ink Rollers

Although most modern cash registers use thermal paper and don't require an ink ribbon or roller there are a few that still do. One of the hardest to find is the IR-90/91 Ink Roller. The IR-90/91 is the Ink Roller for the Sharp ER-A320 Cash Register

Another very hard to find Ink Ribbon is the IR-71 or 805 Ink Ribbon for the Sharp UP-600 Cash Register and a few other Sharp Cash Registers

Remember do not ever re-ink an ink roller or ribbon. Re-inking a cash register ribbon almost always results in the destruction of the cash register. There are a few companies out there that sell re-inked ribbons and rollers. Avoid them at all cost! The real ribbons and rollers are not that expensive that it would warrant buying re-inked ribbons or rollers.

Another important item is the cash register paper. Make sure you keep paper in your cash register even if you don't issue a receipt. Keep the paper in the machine and turn the receipt off. Quite often running a electronic cash register without paper will cause damage to the printer. And lets face facts, if your printer is damaged it is often cheaper to buy a new machine instead of repairing a printer.
