Retail Gift Card Software & Store Credit Management

Retail Express gift card software lets you sell and redeem gift vouchers and store credit at the till, across every store, with one balance synced to Shopify checkout through the Integrated Gift Vouchers add-on.

Common pain points

Disconnected vouchers create liability and customer friction

Balances do not match across stores

Without a unified gift card system, voucher codes issued in one location may not redeem cleanly at another. Staff lose time looking up balances and customers lose confidence.

Online and in-store run on separate codes

If Shopify checkout and POS do not share the same voucher record, customers get two balances for one purchase. That creates refunds, complaints and manual fixes at the till.

Finance cannot track outstanding liability

When issued and redeemed vouchers are not reported in one place, month-end reconciliation of store credit and gift voucher liability becomes guesswork for your bookkeeper.

How to choose the best POS system

Z01 Create Voucher
Issue · print · track

Create vouchers and credit notes at POS

Click Create Voucher in POS, set the value and voucher type, and auto-generate or override the code (including pre-printed physical cards). Print vouchers on receipt or A4 printers. Credit notes suit account customers; gift vouchers suit general store credit and gifting.

Flexible redemption at checkout
Full or partial

Flexible redemption at checkout

Redeem by scanning, entering a code, or selecting from the customer's voucher list on the Payments tab. Part-redeem balances across multiple visits, combine with cash, card or other tenders, and re-print vouchers showing remaining value from the POS lookup screen.

Retail Gift Card Software & Store Credit Management FAQ

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

Using a standalone app creates disconnected balances between your physical stores and your online shop. Built-in gift card software in Retail Express lets you create, sell, and redeem gift vouchers and store credit directly from your POS, with one unified balance that syncs seamlessly to your Shopify checkout.

Both are voucher types in Retail Express with unique codes and balances. Credit notes are recommended for account customers and appear on account payment reports. Gift vouchers suit general gifting and store credit.

Yes. In Retail Express, you can redeem any amount up to the available balance across multiple sales until the balance is used. You can also combine the voucher with other payment methods (like cash or card) for the remainder of the transaction.

Yes. Retail Express voucher credit can be redeemed from any store in your network by any person presenting a valid code.

Yes, with the Integrated Gift Vouchers add-on enabled. Gift vouchers sync to Shopify Gift Cards so customers purchase and redeem online or at POS on the same code and balance. Credit notes and vouchers with codes outside 8-20 characters are not synchronised to Shopify.

Validity is set globally in Voucher Settings. Australian gift vouchers must have at least a three-year expiry from 1 November 2019 unless an ACCC exception applies. Expired vouchers are cancelled and cannot be reactivated.

Yes. You can override the auto-generated code when creating a voucher in Retail Express and scan or enter your pre-printed physical card code instead.

Yes. You can enter outstanding vouchers and credit notes into Retail Express POS before go-live, retaining original codes from your previous system so customers can redeem without disruption.

Gift vouchers are included in your Retail Express subscription. The Shopify Integrated Gift Vouchers add-on is a licensed extra. See our pricing page for details.
