When you issue a gift card from your Shopify admin:

  • It isn't included as a sale in any report, nor in the total sales number in theHomesidebar.

When you sell a gift card:

  • It isn't included in any sales reports, nor the total sales number in theHomesidebar.
  • It is included in theGift Cardsfinance report.
  • The amount paid for the gift card is included in thePaymentsfinance report under the payment method that the customer used, such asVisaorCash.

当顾客使用礼品卡purchase something from your store:

  • It is included in sales reports. The full value of the item is claimed as sales. For example, a $20 t-shirt with $5 of that purchase paid for by a gift card will show up as $20 in sales.
  • The amount paid by or refunded to a gift card is included in thePaymentsfinance report as a gift card entry.
  • The amount paid by gift card is subtracted from the gift card balance, which is shown in theLiabilitiesfinance report.

When a gift card expires:

  • Any remaining outstanding balance on the gift card will continue to count toward your outstanding gift card balance, which is shown in theLiabilitiesfinance report.

When you disable a gift card:

  • Any remaining outstanding balance on the gift card is returned to zero and is removed from the outstanding gift card balance in yourLiabilitiesfinance report. This adjustment applies from the date the card is disabled, and doesn't affect historical data.

Discrepancies between the Sales and Payments finance reports

There are a few reasons why yourSalesandPaymentsfinance reports might show different numbers:

  • TheSalesfinance report shows you information specific to orders placed, while thePaymentsfinance report shows information about payments that your customers have made. There could be differences between the values displayed on each report, for example if customers have placed orders but payment has not yet been captured.

  • 因为报告显示数据基于时间表,could be that an order was placed in a different timeframe than the payment was made. For example, if your customer placed an order in May and paid for it in June, then the order will appear in theSalesfinance report for May, and the payment will show in thePaymentsfinance report for June.

  • When customers purchase gift cards, the amount that they paid for the gift card will show in thePaymentsfinance report. At the same time, the gift card amount appears in thePending salefinance report. Gift card sales are treated as pending sales instead of normal sales because it means that you have the data to combine or separate gift card sales in the way that you want in your own bookkeeping.
