Example: When you sell a $100 gift card and apply a $20 discount, the register shows an $80 payment, the voucher still holds its full $100 value, and your GL report cleanly records the $20 discount and $80 cash received.
Step-By-Step:
Step 1: Set up a GL account specifically for discounts (e.g., "Gift Card Discounts") under Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Integration.

Step 2: Go to Journal Entry Setup, add a new entry for transaction type Voucher Discount, and assign it to the discount GL as a debit.
Step 3: From the point of sale, sell a gift card and apply a discount (e.g., $10 off a $100 gift card).

Step 4: The system still recognizes the full voucher value ($100), while the discounted price ($90) and discount amount ($10) are tracked in your GL reports.

Tip: Set up the GL before offering discounts to ensure clean accounting.
