It's important to ensure that the physical gift cards you plan on using will work with our hardware by following the guidance below.
Toast Gift Cards
Wondering which types of physical gift cards can be swiped on your POS? If you're using Toast Gift Cards, our officially supported physical gift card provider is eCard Systems.
Toast-Integrated Third-Party Gift Card Providers
If you are using one of Toast's integrated gift card providers, their native physical cards should work with Toast assuming they have met our certification criteria.

Unsupported Physical Gift Card Providers
Here is a list of known providers that cannot be swiped with Toast:
- CMS (CMS Bankcard brand, not Card Marketing Services)
- OptiCard
- CAKE
- Gyft
- GETI
- Clover
If you have other physical gift cards, you can always key in gift card numbers, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to be swiped with our system. You may follow some guidance in our Gift Card Encoding Requirements FAQ or request additional support to see if your gift cards can be supported by starting a live chat here with our Customer Support team. Chat is available in Toast Web and Payroll Web (blue support button in bottom right of every page) and the Support tab in the Toast Now app.
For more information on how to contact support view "How to Contact Customer Support" or go to support.toasttab.com.
