Gift Cards¶

Auto Generated Gift Card Codes¶

Codes are auto generated using the customer code of the customer that purchased the gift card.

CUSTCODE-YY-XX

Where XX is the number of cards they have purchased at the store.

E.g. QHOF-30-13

If ever they purchase more than 99 cards, it will become a 3 digit number at the end.

In the event a code is generated for a card that isn't attached to an invoice, a long UUID code is used instead.

Gift Card Expiry Dates¶

The default and minimum expiry date is 3 years. ¹

A minimum of three years is derived from the ACCC government website.

When a new gift card is created via a sale invoice (selling and invoicing a gift card) the expiry date is set to the date of invoice plus 3 years.

If a gift card is created manually, a temporary expiry date is set to 3 years from date of creation. If it's then sold, the expiry date is changed to 3 years from the date of invoice.

A gift card expiry can be increased more than 3 years, which re-calculates the expiry date based on the invoice date (or creation date if it wasn't invoiced).
