The platform also supports stored-value and gift card processing through integrations with providers such as Givex, Valuelink, Blackhawk, and SVS, letting businesses manage both alternative and traditional payment types within one environment.

By supporting loyalty systems and consistent processing across POS and devices, it helps deliver flexible, connected checkout experiences that keep customers coming back.
