Gift cards are reusable, stored-value cards that provide merchants an electronic alternative to paper gift certificates. Our high quality gift cards generate sales at the time of purchase and when redeemed. And since most consumers spend more than the amount on the card, merchants enjoy the additional profit.
Use gift cards to promote sales events, new products, and new locations.

Our family has been in business for over 65 years and we finally made the decision to accept credit cards in 2011. Not only has this decision proven to increase our business portfolio, but it has also saved some of our long standing chain-store customer relationships who have moved solely to the electronic payment method. EpicPay guided us through the whole process and we couldn't be happier!
