At the Swipe Card prompt you have a few choices to identify the customer. You can EITHER swipe or hand-key an existing gift card, rewards card, or combo gift/rewards card (if applicable) using the Swipe Card field. Alternatively, on the loyalty side, you can lookup customers by entering the patron’s unique 10 digit mobile phone number or use the Patron Search button to look up the customer by their name. If you’re running a card-less loyalty program, you will always do the lookup by mobile phone number or Patron Search to lookup by name.
If the transaction you intend to void is the most recently one processed on this card or patron account (most common) you can skip this step and advance to Step 4. If you’re unsure whether it’s the most recently processed transaction or need to identify the specific transaction to void, select the Activity button in Virtual Terminal as shown below.
After tapping the Activity Report button you will see a screen showing all transaction activity processed on this specific card ID# or patron profile. Look for the TransNum column which shows the unique transaction number for the transaction you wish to void. Copy this transaction number and advance to Step 4.

Once in a while a gift card or loyalty transaction is successfully processed through POSitouch and shortly thereafter, the guest check is voided out. This situation doesn’t happen often but it does occur from time to time. The current version of our POSitouch integration service does not yet support partial credits or voids. This functionality is planned in next integration service upgrade patch. Therefore, partial credits or voids (when they do happen) need to be performed inside your back office account using the Virtual Terminal in order to restore gift card or reward balances to their proper amount. This article covers the steps needed to process partial credits or voids inside the Virtual Terminal.
