This guide explains how to create an individual voucher with a unique serial number. This is to prevent the voucher from being used more than once and you are able to track this in the payment report.
To begin, go to Settings in the main page then select Voucher. Click on the + to create a new voucher.
Enter the serial number and the voucher amount. Note that the serial number has to be unique and it cannot be duplicated. In this example photo, 20% is entered as the percentage amount for the voucher. $8 is entered as Capped, it means this is the maximum voucher amount applicable regardless of how big the bill is in proportion to the percentage.
For example, 20% voucher is being applied to a $40 bill. The bill will be $32 after an $8 discount. But if the Capped amount is $8, that means even if a bill is more than $40, the maximum discount is still $8 only.
You can also select Price as the voucher type but there cannot be a capped amount for this since the amount itself is considered as Capped.
You can set an expiry date for the voucher if you wish to, otherwise the voucher will be valid indefinitely. Click anywhere on the screen to continue.
After you are done creating the voucher, click Save on the top right corner. We will show how you how to create a payment type for the voucher in the next step.
