Prairie Trail Software, Inc.

Gift and Loyalty Server.

Gift Card Solutions

A gift card with a major card brand on it can be used anywhere. Those can only be sold through ISO's and will have transaction fees every time it is sold and used.

A "closed loop" system is one where the cards have to come back to the chain where it was sold in order to be used. We offer software that allows you to run your own gift card system without any transaction fees. As server software, it can handle any number of stores. Currently, it is processing for 100's of stores at other clients.

We offer the full software source code. It can be customized to your system and way of operating.

Loyalty Card Solutions

Loyalty can be done in a number of ways. This server is highly customizable with a number of different options. The simplest is to allow one point per dollar spent and accumulate the points. These points can be redeemed for rewards. Other options include random prizes, double points on different days, adding coupons, and having all these options be determined by what level of loyalty that customer has shown by dollars spent or frequent visits.

Pricing

Full source code is available for $8,000.
