Gift cards for any register

Sell gift cards on the register you already have.

Talluna keeps your gift card balances. Your register keeps your sales. Swipe or scan any card, from any printer, and the balance is right there.

No card needed to start. Set up in two minutes on a Mac, PC or iPad.

Two steps at the counter

Your register doesn't need a gift card feature. It doesn't need to know Talluna exists.

STEP 1

Ring it up on your register

Sell the gift card, or take payment for the purchase, exactly the way you do today. Talluna never touches the money.

STEP 2

Swipe or scan in Talluna

Issue, redeem, reload, refund. A partial redemption leaves the rest on the card. Every action shows who did it.

THAT'S IT

The balance follows the card

Any device signed in to your shop sees the same balances. Reports show what you owe on outstanding cards at any moment.

Works with the cards you already have

Any plastic card with a mag stripe, barcode or QR code registers itself the first time it's swiped or scanned. No PINs, no spreadsheets, no pre-loading numbers. Cards from any printer, including the box you already bought.

Readers: any USB swiper that types like a keyboard, on Mac, Windows or a USB-C iPad. QR codes scan with the iPad camera.

Talluna waiting for a card

Built for the counter

Big buttons, a PIN for each person, and a ledger the owner can trust.

Issue, redeem, reload, refund

Partial redemptions, refunds back onto the card, cash-outs, and a void for the last mistake.

A PIN for every person

Cashiers issue and redeem. Managers approve manual entries, freezes and large cash-outs. Every line in the ledger has a name.

Liability at a glance

Outstanding balances, cards sold and redeemed by month, dormant and expired balances, and a CSV of everything.

Lost card? Freeze it

Freeze the card, then move its balance to a new one. The old number stops working.

We never hold your money

Talluna is a balance ledger, not a payment processor. There are no held funds and nothing to wait on.

Customers can check a balance

An optional page where a customer types the full card number and sees the balance. Nothing else.

Questions

Does my register need to support gift cards?

No. You ring the sale on your register the way you always have. Talluna only keeps the balance on the card.

Can I use gift cards I already have?

Yes. Any card with a mag stripe, barcode or QR code works. It registers in Talluna the first time you swipe or scan it. No PIN is needed.

What do I need to swipe cards?

A USB mag-stripe reader that types like a keyboard, about $20 to $40, on a Mac, PC or USB-C iPad. For QR codes the iPad camera is enough. You can also type a number by hand, which needs a manager's PIN.

Does Talluna take a cut or hold the money?

No. Talluna is a ledger. The payment goes through your register and stays with you. We charge a flat monthly or yearly fee.

Do cards expire?

Not unless you turn that on. Federal law doesn't allow expiration under five years from purchase, and some states forbid it entirely. The default is never.

What if the internet goes down?

Every device keeps a copy of your balances. If you allow it in Settings, redemptions can be queued on the device and sync when the connection returns. Issuing and reloading wait for a connection.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, any time. Admin exports every card, balance and transaction as CSV.

Set up in two minutes

Your email, your shop's name, a PIN. Then swipe a card.
