Gift cards
A gift card is bought on your site or at the till, for a fixed amount or a service — 'a balayage', not just '£150' — and arrives by email with a code and a wallet pass. It is redeemed at the till or online against a booking, partially if needed, and the remaining balance stays on the card. Balances are a liability on your books, so the report shows what is outstanding and what expired; expiry is set by you, and a card can be topped up or transferred.
- Fixed amount or a named service
- Redeemed online or at the till, partially
