WordStock Integrates Book Sense Gift Card Program

POS vendor WordStock recently announced that it has developed an interface to support full access to the Book Sense Gift Card Program. Booksellers must have high-speed Internet access and WordStock version 4.20C in order to integrate with WordStock. Installation fees will vary, and there is a $20 monthly fee in addition other Book Sense gift cards fees.

Using WordStock, booksellers can now accept Book Sense gift cards as a standard method of payment; sell and track Book Sense cards; automatically deduct amounts from cards; tell a customer how much money remains on the card; and add purchasing value to a card. Additionally, a report can be generated that provides transaction history and activation and redemption data.

The WordStock/BookSense Gift Card integration provides a secure, real-time transaction. Among other features, it includes the ability to activate cards at time of purchase and deactivate in the event of theft, loss, or fraud; create pre-set and flexible denominations; and replenish cards in-store or online.
