Selling and redeeming Leat gift cards on Toast POS

With the Toast integration connected, your staff can sell, top up and take payment with Leat gift cards at the Toast POS. Toast sends every gift card action to Leat, and the card's balance lives in Leat.

Before you start

  • Connect the Toast integration. See How to configure a Toast integration.
  • Have the cards in Leat. Toast looks each card up in Leat by its number, so a card has to exist in Leat before it can be sold. For printed cards, generate the card numbers first. See Physical gift cards.
  • Switch gift cards on in Toast. The gift card integration has to be active for the location in the Toast back office, and the Gift Card payment method has to be active in the POS configuration.

Sell or top up a gift card

These are Toast's own screens:

  1. On the POS, tap Gift Card.
  2. Select Add Value.
  3. Enter the amount to put on the card.
  4. Scan the gift card. The amount is added to the bill for payment.

In Leat, the first load on a card with no balance activates it, and every load after that is a top-up.

Pay with a gift card

  1. Finish the order and go to the payments screen.
  2. Select Gift Card as the payment method and tap Scan.
  3. Scan the card's QR code. The amount paid is taken off the card's balance in Leat.

When a card is refused

  • The card isn't in Leat. The number doesn't match a card in your account. Check the number, or generate or import the card first.
  • The card is inactive. A card that's switched off in Leat is refused. See How to deactivate a gift card.
  • A load is refused. The card isn't reusable and already had its first load, or the load would take it over the program's Maximum amount. See How to create gift card programs.

If the gift card buttons don't show on the POS, or the POS itself misbehaves, contact the Toast integrations team.
