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

  1. In the dashboard, open the certificates section.
  2. Enter the face value, the validity period and a comment.
  3. The system will issue a code — copy it and print it on the certificate.

How to redeem at the cash register

  1. The cashier chooses the Gift certificate payment method and enters the code.
  2. The cash register checks whether the certificate is valid and how much is on it.
  3. 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.

  1. After closing a receipt, the cashier records the tip amount, the method — cash or card — and the employee it belongs to.
  2. Tips go neither into the receipt, nor into revenue, nor into the shift cash.
  3. 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.
