Gift certificates and tips
A certificate brings a new guest to the venue, and you receive the money for it in advance. In Goovii each certificate has a unique code and a live balance, so it cannot be forged or used twice.
How to issue a certificate
- In the dashboard, open the certificates section.
- Enter the face value, the validity period and a comment.
- The system will issue a code — copy it and print it on the certificate.
How to redeem at the cash register
- The cashier chooses the Gift certificate payment method and enters the code.
- The cash register checks whether the certificate is valid and how much is on it.
- If the receipt is less than the face value, the rest stays on the certificate for the next visit.
The list shows every certificate: face value, balance, validity and status. A certificate can be cancelled — then its balance can no longer be used for payment.
Tips tracking
Tips belong to the staff, so in Goovii they are not mixed with revenue.
- After closing a receipt, the cashier records the tip amount, the method — cash or card — and the employee it belongs to.
- Tips go neither into the receipt, nor into revenue, nor into the shift cash.
- The Tips section shows for any period how much each employee received: in cash, by card and in total.
Certificates complement loyalty programs, and tips complement salary accounting. More on the Gift Certificates and Tips page.
