Gift card by time period report

The Gift Card by Time Period report gives you an overview of your gift card activities (Issues, Expirations, Redemptions, and Refunds) for a selected date range. This report helps you monitor and adjust your gift card usage in your business:

• Loss Prevention -A significant gap between issued and sold gift card values may lead to losses upon redemption. Monitoring this helps inform future gift card pricing decisions.
• Policy Review - If you have a high amount of expired gift card value, it may indicate an overly strict policy. Consider customer feedback and adjust the expiration policy if needed.
