Installation on your cash register system
Selecting a new payment method for redemptions
Configure a new payment method in your cash register system for E-GUMA Vouchers. You should not use the same payment method as you have used for previous vouchers. The existing payment method should, however, be retained to enable you to redeem existing vouchers.
New items to sell vouchers (optional)
If you would like to sell vouchers via your cash registers, configure a new Voucher item, which is not subject to VAT and which does not generate revenue.The value of the item should be freely selectable at the checkout.
Depending on the checkout type, you can save the link to the WebCashbox in the system directly and call it up by a button. This means that you can perform the redemption and make the payment effective from a single device. For a clear explanation as to whether your cash register is suitable, please contact your cash register supplier or the e-guma support team.
Scanning
WebCashBox features an autocomplete capability once you have entered the first three characters of a 12-digit voucher code. Alternatively, you can use a scanner to read voucher codes instead.A selection of scanners can be found here.
