The PRE-VALUE card function is used to create pre-valued laundry cards with a specific balance, bonus, or discount for your customers. Use this function to produce powerful marketing programs, and then notify people of the promotion. For example, you might advertise that the first 50 customers to come in at a certain time would receive a card with a starting value of $5.
Pre-Value
To access this function, your specific Card ID (The 12-digit number on the back of the card) must have PRE-VALUE selected under CARDS in permission settings. Please see your store Owner/Manager to update your permission settings. See Permission Settings and Functions for more information on how to set permissions.
THIS FUNCTION CANNOT BE UNDONE! Make sure the information is correct and that the cards stay secure after creation.
