Info on Creating Gift Voucher Cards

Track:
Track 1, 2, or 3 can be used. Track 2 is recommended as it is the standard track used for this.

Characters:
The Gift Voucher code should start with GV and be a total of 16 characters.
There is flexibility in the types of alphanumeric characters that can be used, but it is recommended that 0 through 9 be used.

Length:
1 to 14 characters plus the GV prefix

We usually use leading zeros in the code:
GV0000001
GV0000002
GV0000039
GV0000190

Track 2 is typically encoded with a; and? symbol (for example,; GV00001?) but the mag reader strips out those special characters. In instances where the code is not unique, we can code the mag reader to bring in those special characters, so the code then becomes unique.
