Introduction
If your company uses Factor4 for gift cards, Centegra Plus can be integrated along with the POS to update Factor4 gift card balances when they are presented at the POS.
With the Factor4 gift card integration:
- A gift card scanned at the POS is passed through to Centegra Plus and is validated. The valid request is then passed on to Factor4 to check the gift card status and balance.
- Factor4 confirm if the gift card is active and respond with the gift card balance. The gift card balance is passed down to the POS and used as full or part payment against the basket of items.
- Once the transaction is closed, the basket associated with the gift card is passed back to Factor4.
For more information on this integration, Contact Centegra.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
How Are Gift Cards Used At The POS?
Typically, each gift card has a barcode / QR code associated with it in the form of a physical card or mobile application, which can be read at the POS. The POS then communicates with Factor4 via Centegra Plus to update the balance when the gift card is topped up or is used to pay for items.
The method at the POS varies per system. For more information, see:
The Gift Card Isn't Recognised At The POS.
If a gift card scanned at the POS is not recognised, first check that the POS is online.
Then, Click Here to check that the Centegra Plus API is fully operational, and check with Factor4 to ensure that their API is also fully operational.
