Payment Voucher

Payment Vouchers are prepaid money cards that can be redeemed to exchange goods. For example,

  1. The retail store"XYZ" has launched $20, $50, and $100 gift vouchers.
  2. Customer A at "XYZ" bought the $20 gift voucher for his friend, Peter. 
  3. Peter can visit the store any time and take products worth $20.00
    1. If Peter chooses to buy additional items where the total is more than $20 then he can use the $20 gift voucher and pay for the surplus.
    2. Peter can also purchase items where the total is less than $20. However, the unused balanced will not be returned to Peter.

Steps to configure Payment Voucher

  1. Payment vouchers are set up as "Lot-Serial" tracked item. The serial numbers  must be unique across the items.
    1. For example:
      1. Voucher $20 has serial numbers as GV20-0001, GV20-0002.
      2. Voucher $0 has serial numbers as GV50-0001, GV50-0002.
  2. All the voucher items must have the same category. For example, the category could be:
    1. Code - GV
    2. Description -  Gift Voucher
  3. The code for the "Gift Voucher" category and "Voucher Valid Days" should be configured in POS.
    1. Configuration is updated under "LinkWEB - Company Administration - Configuration - Point of Sale".
  4. Configure the Payment Method for "Gift Voucher":
    1. Description: Voucher No
    2. Required: Ticked
    3. Field Type: Text Field
    4. Lookup List: Gift Vouchers
    5. Verify from List: Ticked
