Prior to generating gift card numbers, ensure that a Gift Card Product and General Ledger have been created in Company Settings → Outlet Defaults → Gift Cards.
This feature is security controlled and only system administrators should have access to generating gift cards.
Create Gift Card
Click the Accounting module using the navigation panel on the left.
Click More → Gift Cards at the menu ribbon at the top.
Click Add New at the top right-hand corner.

Select Save and repeat for any others.
Generate Multiple Gift Cards
When desiring to produce multiple gift cards, it can be time-saving to generate them all at once. This is particularly useful when gift card numbers are in sequential order.
Click the Accounting module using the navigation panel on the left.
Click More → Gift Cards at the menu ribbon at the top.
Click Generate Gift Card at the top right-hand corner.
Fill out the form with: Prefix (optional, e.g. "Gift" generates Gift-01, Gift-02...), Starting Number (required), Ending Number (required), Suffix (optional), Amount (required), Expiration Date (optional), Product (optional), Is Active? (optional), Create Journal Entry (optional).
Click the Generate button.
Creation During Purchase
When a gift card is purchased in the POS, when the order is finalized the gift card will be automatically generated in the gift card list. See the Purchasing Gift Cards article for further instructions.
