MERCHANT INFORMATION


How to Enroll to Accept Birmingham Bucks E-Gift Cards:

  1. Shoppers can purchase Birmingham Bucks e-gift cards on our website here and email, text or print them for use at participating merchants in the Birmingham Shopping District. Birmingham Bucks e-gift cards only work at participating merchants, so you must opt-in to the program to accept the e-gift cards.

  2. To receive the e-gift cards, merchants must have the ability to accept key-entry (like a phone order) MasterCard transactions. Merchants are paid through the credit card bank in their normal settlement, with their normal MasterCard CNP processing fee.

  3. There is no cost to participate in the program and enrolling is easy and quick. To get started, contact our office at B[email protected]. We will connect you with Yiftee (our third party vendor) to get started. Yiftee will email you the Activation Card, a digital MasterCard with $0.10 on it. Please process it as a credit card as soon as you receive it. If you can't do a small $0.10 transaction, process it for your minimum amount. The transaction will be declined however, Yiftee will receive the information necessary to connect you to the system. By processing the Activation Card, you agree with the Yiftee Merchant Agreement.
