QuickBooks Gift Cards Accounting: How to Record Gift Purchases and Spend?

In QuickBooks, there is a liability given to the customers who are eligible for gift certificates or gift cards that are redeemed when the points increase in order to do the business done frequently by the customer.

This helps the customers to stick by with the company in QuickBooks and do the accounting with the gift cards also to keep the discounts and have the good accounting experience all together.

When the gift card is redeemed the customer gets more point in terms of gift card and only when the value in gift cards is more than the amount which needs to be deducted for the purchase.

• Click on the (+) Plus icon present at the top and select Invoice
• In first line, choose the Product or Service that are being bought and fill the amount and quantity
• Now go to the second line and choose Product or Service for the Gift Certificates, make sure that this is the one which is linked with the liability account. After that add the negative number for the gift certicate’s amount
