To access this function, your specific Card ID (The 12-digit number on the back of the card) must have ESCROW 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.
In some instances, a customer can add value to a card, have it dispensed, but a malfunction occurs in adding the value to the card. Immediately after the card is dispensed, there is a 2 minute window when the customer can insert the card and the value can be added. However, if the customer does not insert the card within this time-frame, the money that was not applied to the card will be held in an account called "Escrow". When this occurs, anyone who has Assign from Escrow or Escrow permissions can apply the escrow money to the customer's card. Follow the steps below to assign money from escrow.
Insert your card.
Select Cards from the main menu.
Select Escrow.
Select Edit on the line of the amount you want to assign to a customer's card.

The money will be applied to the customer's card and it is immediately ready for use.
By default, only un-assigned records will appear on this screen. Enabling the 'Show Completed Escrows' option will also display the previously assigned escrow transactions (Which will show $0, as they've been assigned to a customer card.) in addition to the unassigned records.
