How do I create a complimentary Gift Card/Voucher for a client?

This article shows how to create a free/charity Gift Card for a client.

The following are instructions for putting a free Gift Card/Voucher through the Phorest system. Typically this would be when giving a free voucher to a charity or compensation to an unhappy client. No tax is calculated on this sale. Any "free" Gift Card/Voucher redeemed will not calculate any tax in reporting.


Go to the Purchase screen > Click the Vouchers button > Choose an option, create the voucher, and enter a value.

Once you've added the Gift Card/Voucher to the Purchase screen, select its current Discount value. In the calculator that appears, choose the PERCENTAGE option, and enter 100%.

Click Pay > Click Complete Payment again to finish the sale. The Gift Card/Voucher will now be active for the client for the original value, despite having been discounted.


If you're looking to manually add a Gift Card/Voucher that was sold through another system, and shouldn't be recorded in your Phorest financial sales reports, check out this guide.
