Gift Card receipts

Nov 07, 2007 6 Replies

I use the serialized system generated gift vouchers currently. When someone purchases a gift vocuher for a present, they receive their transaction receipt which may include other items purchsed along with the voucher.



When they give the voucher as a present, the problem is that - the person who receives the gift voucher does not know how much is on the card unless they have a gift receipt or something. You could do a duplicate of the transaction receipt, but that means the person receiving the gift card will see all the other things the purchasing customer has bought in the transacion...



does anyone have a solution for this? some retailers produce a second receipt containing only the voucher value...

We get around this by having different cards for each amount with the amount printed on the gift card($5, $10, $25, $50). Each amount has it's own item#. Craig

Is it possible to edit the xml receipt to print two receipts - regular receipt and a second one with Gift certificate information (i.e.: if ILC xxxx print second part of receipt) I don't know enough about the xml receipt logic - to see if it allow printing two separate receipt from one transaction.

Danny - that solution would be ideal! I dont particularaly want to have cards with defined amounts on them as inevitably you will run out of the £10 ones, and have too many £5 ones etc, it would be nicer just to have a generic seriailized card, and when that item is sold, an additional receipt with the opening value of the gift voucher should be printed which can be put into the card wallet for the recipient!

does anyone know of a solution for this? I will try the ctrl-Alt+F3 function and see if that gives an option to print the voucher balance!

Thanks all!
