Gift Cards

Gift cards, or prepaid money cards, are used as an alternative to cash for purchases within a particular store or related business. The table via Accounting > Maintenance > Gift Cards shows all issued gift cards and their balances in Deacom. Prior to using gift cards, a "Gift Card Part" must be setup in Sales Options, and gift card payment type must be established via Accounting > Maintenance > Payment Types.
