How Gift card orders are handled in Summary sync - Xero bridge app
This article explains how Gift card orders are handled in Summary sync and account selection for Gift Card.
By default, our app automatically selects 'Shopify Gift Card Liabilities-PSH09' account in our app settings to sync the Gift card transactions. This account is created in Xero when you complete the app settings and save the settings of our app for the first time after installing the app. This account is liablility type of account.
Any transactions which are paid through the Gift cards will decrease the Gift Card liability account. If the customer purchases a Gift card, then the Liability account increases.
Our app will create the line item 'Giftcard' in summary invoice when transaction is paid by gift card or gift card is sold to the customer.
When the transaction is paid by Gift card then the amount of 'Giftcard' line item will be in negative amount in the summary and it will decrease the liability account. If the Gift card is purchased by customer then the amount of 'Giftcard' line item will be positive in the summary and the liability account will increase.
