MSR Voucher/Gift Card

I'm trying to setup vouchers using cards with mag strips. My MSR is placing

2 additional characters at the begining and the end of the inserted serial number. Can someone give an RMS newbie step by step instructions on getting this set up. We will most likely not sell pre-determined cards. They will be sold on a customer by customer basis. All input is greatly appreciated.

PS I've read that barcoding the cards is the best way to go, however I already have the mag strip cards.

Thanks!

Zoo,

If you are going to use them, then you must purchase an additional mag stripe reader and have it programmed so that the extra characters are not included in the scan.

This is assuming that you are also attempting to scan regular credit cards with your current scanner. It can't be setup to do both types at the same time. The extra characters are needed for regular credit cards.

If that's not the case, then tell us what make and model of scanner you have.

Jeff... If that's the case, I will print up barcodes on stock and place a barcode on each card matching the card serial number. Is there a fast way to create these labels? What kind of label stock should I use?

Thanks again.

Zoo,

I would try the free label design program from Avery label

, create a label with a bar-coded serial number on it that matches what you are starting with, let the program print labels with incremental numbers on them and use the smallest label you can. Maybe a file folder label size?
