Gift Certificate Tender

A gift certificate is a form of store credit that can be used to purchase merchandise at some future date. When a customer buys a gift certificate, there is no net sale. The customer pays the amount of the certificate in one currency (such as cash) and receives the same amount as change in the form of a gift certificate. Note: You cannot both redeem (take) and sell (give) a gift certificate on the same transaction.

Selling a Gift Certificate
When selling the gift certificate, over-tender the receipt in the amount of the certificate. The change is then returned to the customer in the form of a gift certificate.
