Redeeming a voucher at the till
How to redeem vouchers at checkout
Redeeming Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers can be redeemed as payment at checkout, either in full or partially.
At Checkout
- Complete the service/sale as normal
- When ready to pay, click Add Payment
- Select Gift Voucher as the payment method
- Enter the voucher code
- The system will:
- Validate the voucher
- Show the available balance
- Apply the amount to the sale
Partial Redemption
If the voucher balance is more than the sale total:
- Only the sale amount is deducted
- The remaining balance stays on the voucher
- The voucher can be used for future purchases
If the voucher balance is less than the sale total:
- The full voucher balance is applied
- The remaining amount must be paid with another method
- Use split payment to add cash/card for the difference
Service-Specific Vouchers
Some vouchers are linked to specific services:
- Can only be used for the linked service
- The system will warn if the voucher doesn't apply
- Full amount is still available for the correct service
Checking Voucher Balance
Before checkout, you can look up any voucher:
- Go to Gift Vouchers > Vouchers
- Search by code
- View balance and redemption history
Redemption History
Each voucher tracks:
- All redemptions with dates and amounts
- Which sale/appointment it was used for
- Who processed the redemption
- Remaining balance after each use
Online redemption
If enabled, customers can use vouchers during online booking:
- Enter code during checkout
- Balance is automatically applied
- Works with partial redemptions
Use case scenarios
Scenario 1: Full-amount redemption
Customer pays with a 20k voucher for a 20k service. Reception scans the voucher code, applies, transaction balanced. Voucher status changes to Redeemed.
Scenario 2: Partial redemption + extra
Customer has a 30k voucher. Today's bill is 35k. Reception applies the voucher (30k), customer pays the remaining 5k cash. Voucher status: Redeemed.
Scenario 3: Partial redemption + balance left
Customer has a 30k voucher. Today's bill is 18k. Apply 18k of voucher. Voucher balance: 12k Ft remaining for next visit.
Scenario 4: Online redemption
Customer books online and pays with voucher code. The system applies the balance during checkout, no manual intervention.
Tips
- Always read the voucher code carefully: confusing 0 (zero) and O (letter) is common.
- Communicate the remaining balance: "you still have 12k Ft on your voucher for next time".
- Print receipt with balance: customers like the visual reminder.
- Online and offline use the same balance: don't double-redeem.
