Updates to the guest pay payment workflow and functionality

Guest pay is a term used to describe a payment device that faces the guest. A guest pay device can be a card reader, or guest-facing display (GFD). For more information about guest pay devices and functionality, see Guest Pay and Dual Reader Functionality with Toast Tap. The guest pay card reader payment workflow and functionality have been updated in the following ways:

• If you use a single card reader, and the Payment Option setting for that reader (from the Device Setup on the Toast POS app) is set to Guest Pay, you can now add funds to gift cards, activate gift cards, and redeem gift cards.

• If you use a single guest pay reader, you no longer see the Guest Pay button on the payment selection screen. The Guest Pay and Credit buttons have been consolidated to a single Card button. Manual card key-entry is still available on the restaurant employee facing payment terminal.

• You can now configure a card reader to have the Guest Pay payment option with or without a guest-facing display, and without the need for a separate magnetic stripe reader.
