What MAJA does for you
- A gift card is not a sale: no VAT on the card; the money sits on Gift Cards Outstanding until the card buys goods, which carry the VAT.
- Checks and spends a card on the server the moment it is applied, so it cannot be spent twice; the receipt shows what stays on it.
- Counts a voucher's uses on the server, and gives the use back if the sale is abandoned.
Good to know
- Gift cards and vouchers are checked online only: "A gift card is checked and spent online only — the till is offline".
- A gift card is sold at the counter, not on a table order.
- A refund can go back onto a gift card (Return → Gift card).
- Issue a card in MAJA Books gives a free card (a prize or goodwill); Void cancels an open card.
