Sell a Gift Certificate

Redeem a Gift Certificate | General Payment Procedure

A gift certificate is basically "store money" that can be used to purchase merchandise at a future date. When a customer buys a gift certificate, there is no net sale. Certificate numbers can be recorded both on the sale and the redemption for tracking purposes.

To sell a gift certificate:

1. Start a new sales receipt with or without other items listed.

2. In the Scan or enter item information field of the receipt, begin typing Gift Cert... and then click Gift Certificate in the item list displayed. The Sell Gift Certificate dialog is opened.

3. Enter the amount and certificate number and click OK.

4. Select a payment type.

The total amount due from the customer (any purchases plus the gift certificate amount) is suggested in the payment dialog.

6. Use the general payment procedures to take payment and give change.

7. Save/print the receipt.

Notes:

- Only one gift certificate can be added to a receipt; either a sale or a redemption. You cannot both sell and accept a gift certificate on the same receipt, or sell multiple certificates on a single receipt.
