- Tap Functions.

- Tap Management Tools.
- Tap Adjust Lavu Card on the second row.
- Just like with looking up cards in the Control Panel, enter the gift card or loyalty ID (if you are using an iDynamo card reader, you can also swipe a physical card instead of manually typing it in).

Important Note:
The magtek iDynamo and Verifone terminals may be used to issue and deactivate the Lavu Gift cards. In the magtek iDynamo and the Verifone, the process for issuing, redeeming, checking balances, and deactivating Lavu Gift cards is the same. All these operations can be performed when the Verifone and magtek iDynamo terminals are integrated with the Lavu application.
