Processing Gift Vouchers during an outage
If clients are coming in for Gift Vouchers during an outage, there's no need to worry.
Simple Salon has the ability to process vouchers with NO ID, therefore, you can hand a client the voucher with the amount they've paid, then, when the clients comes in, you can use the Gift Voucher with NO ID payment type.
Want to keep track of the balance? No worries, simply mark off the original price when the client uses the voucher, then add in the new balance.

Alternatively, you can simply create the voucher for the client when you can access the system again, then leave a comment in their profile with the Gift Voucher ID, so you can quickly process the voucher when they're ready.
