How should I handle gift cards in QuickBooks Desktop?
E-Commerce businesses frequently sell gift cards. This article is about how to ensure your sync works when you sell a gift card and your customer pays using a gift card.
Introduction
- When you sell a gift card it is not considered income until you have provided the product or service that the gift card redeems.
- The sale of a gift card it is considered a liability in QuickBooks.
- Once the gift card is redeemed it adds to your income account and removes the gift card from the liability account in QuickBooks.
How does Connex handle gift cards/gift certificates?
If a gift card is purchased, then it will appear as a non-inventory part with a positive dollar amount on the QuickBooks invoice or sales receipt. If the gift card is used as a form of payment, then the gift card appears as a discount when syncing a sales receipt. Non-inventory parts in QuickBooks allow negative amounts.
Connex will map all gift cards to an item called giftcard. This item should be of type non-inventory and its income account it set to a liability.
Here is an example from QuickBooks Desktop:
