Jewel360 Announces New POS Integration, JFC Partnership
The point-of-sale software can now prompt customers to round up their credit card purchases as a donation to Jewelers for Children.
Jewelers for Children uses donations funded by the jewelry industry to benefit children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse, or neglect.
Provo, Utah—Jewel360, the cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) software for jewelry retailers, has partnered with Jewelers for Children (JFC) to offer its new donation integration.
The integration will give jewelers the option to prompt customers to round up their credit card purchases on the POS terminal at the time of sale as a donation made to JFC.
This feature makes it easier to support charitable giving efforts as customers are no longer restricted to only cash donations.
“The way customers shop has continued to drastically change,” said Nick Gurney, Jewel360’s general manager.
“Everything from credit cards to e-commerce has made it difficult for jewelry store businesses to collect donations. This new integration allows jewelers to not only support Jewelers for Children, but makes it simple for consumers to donate at the time of their purchase.”

Jewelers for Children is an organization created by the jewelry industry to help fund programs that benefit children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse, or neglect.
“We’re excited to be partnering with Jewel360 to bring this integration to jewelry stores around the nations,” said Sarah Murphy, executive director at JFC.
“Our mission to help children in need is a direct result of the generosity of jewelry organizations, professionals, and stores. Enabling consumers to have a direct way to donate, as they desire, is paramount to bringing more help and resources to the children.”
Since JFC was founded in 1999, it has donated over $61 million because of generosity from jewelry trade organizations, jewelry and watch manufacturing companies, jewelry retail stores, individual jewelry professionals, and jewelry consumers, said the nonprofit.
Jewel360’s program was developed specifically for jewelry retailers. The all-in-one, cloud-based retail software integrates online and in-person sales, as well as inventory, repairs, customer communications, and marketing.
Jewel360 will be attending AGS’s Conclave 2024 in Austin, Texas from April 15 to 17, where attendees can experience the platform and learn more about JFC at booth 215.
Jewel360 will also be presenting “Selling in a Modern Marketplace,” on April 16 at 10:45 a.m. in room 400.
The seminar will cover understanding the modern customer and their preferences, the importance of online presence and digital marketing, strategies for effective customer engagement, and how to integrate e-commerce into the business.
