Purpose
The gift pass feature allows Operators to create a gift pass record in ADM, and then share that with end consumers.
Once a consumer has a gift pass in their possession, they can use it as a one-time spending pass to make purchases on a kiosk or other device, or they can use them to fund an existing GMA account.
Please see: ADM - Gift Passes for setup, use, and configuration instructions.
