What is the QR Code on Gift Cards For?

The QR code on your Go Gift Cards serves a specific purpose for merchants who accept in-person payments. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Purpose of the QR Code

  • The QR code is primarily designed for Point of Sale (POS) systems in physical stores.

  • When a customer presents their gift card in-store, merchants can scan the QR code to:

    • Verify the gift card balance

    • Process payments quickly without manual entry.

  • It is not meant for online redemption—customers should use the gift card code for website purchases.

2. Why Was the QR Code Redirecting to Google?

  • If the QR code was misconfigured or linked incorrectly, it could lead to an unintended destination (like Google).

  • Our team has now disabled the QR code on your redemption page to prevent confusion.
