17 | "Gift Certificate" Voucher Type

This article covers the "Gift Certificate" Voucher Type and the Voucher-specific details that need to be entered during configuration.

This Voucher is a complete Gift Certificate tracking system
Gift Certificates are a type of Voucher that are set up and reported on in the same way as other vouchers
Gift vouchers; however have extra reporting in the Balance Reports due to their inherent “value” rather than a discount amount
Both “Gift Certificate Issued” and “Gift Certificate Redeem” totals are reported separately
Gift Vouchers are typically sold for face value but can be issued via a Prize Promotion or issued from the BackOffice
Pre-Printed Gift Certificates or pre-programmed magnetic cards are also supported

The Value of Certificate field allows to set an amount for gift certificate; to prompt the operator to manually enter a value for the Gift Certificate, set the Value of Certificate to '0.00'

When issuing the Gift Certificate, the issuer will be asked to enter the lookup number or scan the Gift Certificate to supply the Lookup Number
Then the Gift Certificate is either scanned or the lookup number is then entered to redeem the voucher at a later date

The Different Sale Price flag allows to sell a Gift Certificate at a desired price value which could be different to the Value of Certificate
To sell Gift Certificate at a different price, turn ON the Different Sale Price flag

Once this flag is turned ON, it will display the Enter Sale Price field which allows to enter the desired price amount for the Gift Certificate

Note: If this flag is turned ON and the Enter Sale Price field is left to $0.00 then the Gift Certificates will be sold at $0.00 on Smart POS

When issuing Credit Notes or selling Gift Certificates, the Till will use the Print Format as set as the Prize Promotion Print format for that Till or Workstation
