TheGiftCardCafe.com Debuts Real-Time Gift Card Sales

Spa-goers—and spas—can get instant gift gratification courtesy of TheGiftCardCafe.com’s new myPOS Service, which allows retailers to instantly integrate the website’s gift cards into their operations from any point of sale. The TheGiftCardCafe.com shopping cart blends in with any spa or hotel website, molding to the company’s distinct look and feel. When a customer purchases a gift card online on the site, myPOS Service sends secure data to the company in real time, allowing retailers to automatically process and input the data into their systems. Customers who receive instant gift certificates can immediately come into the spa, and the gift certificate will be quickly and easily processed. “This is all about finding additional sources of revenue. As we’ve seen, not even the largest retailers are able to avoid economic hardships,” says Gregg Gottschling, co-founder of The GiftCardCafe.com. “With more and more people going online to find gifts, retailers can’t afford to miss out on the opportunity to sell instant gift certificates on their websites.”
