Can a merchant that already has custom gift cards from a previous supplier use the SOS Gift IP stored value processing service without ordering new cards?
Before we can determine if the old cards can be used we must have you do several things: • We (SOS) must have a sample card to test to prove the card is readable and; • the merchant must agree to a one-time database conversion fee of $125, and; • the merchant must provide us with an electronic excel spreadsheet giving us the magnetic stripe card number, the printed reference number, and the associated balance of each card, even those that have not yet been issued, and; • The merchant must stop taking gift cards for 24 hours to allow us to import the database.
