Why online vouchers?
Sell even when your business is closed.
Sell vouchers while you sleep
Vouchers are one of the most popular gifts – for Christmas, birthdays or as a thank-you to employees. If you only sell them at the counter, you're giving away sales: many guests look for a gift online in the evening or shortly before the occasion.
With an online voucher shop, your guests buy the voucher in a few clicks and receive it immediately by email. It's redeemed later directly at your till – without paperwork and without a list in which you track remaining balances by hand.

02
Which option fits?
It depends on your POS system.
Three solutions, one question: which POS system do you use? That determines how you sell vouchers online and redeem them at the till.
03
From purchase to daily close in four steps – without your service team having to calculate anything.
Via a button on your website, the link in your Google Business Profile or in your Instagram bio. They choose the amount and pay online, for example with PayPal or credit card.
Immediately after purchase, the guest receives the voucher as a PDF with QR code and voucher code – to print, give as a gift or show on their phone.
When paying, your team scans the QR code or types in the code. The POS deducts the amount, and any remaining balance is kept for the next visit.
The voucher appears as a separate payment method in your daily close. VAT is usually only due on redemption – your POS books this correctly.
04
For vouchers to be redeemed at the POS without detours, the solution has to fit your system. These are the combinations we use for our customers.
With leafsystems you can now also sell vouchers online – directly from your POS system, without an additional provider. Sales and redemptions are booked automatically in the POS.
Gastro Digital offers its own online voucher shop in your business's look and has an interface to leafsystems. You redeem vouchers sold online directly at the leafsystems POS.
Tip: with Gastro Digital you can also get the Online reservations for leafsystems if you wish.
For Lightspeed we work with BON BON, one of the major voucher platforms for restaurants, cafés and bars in Germany. The connection is to the Lightspeed K-Series (Lightspeed Restaurant): you redeem vouchers sold online directly at your Lightspeed POS.

Use the occasions
You don't have to struggle through interfaces and settings yourself. We choose the right solution with you, set up the voucher shop, connect it to your POS and test sales and redemption on site.
Afterwards your team knows how redemption, remaining balances and the daily close work – and you have a contact if questions arise.
06
A voucher that your guests buy around the clock via a link on your website, on Google or Instagram. The voucher arrives immediately by email – usually as a PDF with QR code to print or show on the phone. The money is already there before the guest eats with you for the first time.
With a connected POS, you scan the QR code or type in the voucher code. The POS checks the balance, deducts the amount from the bill and books the voucher as a separate payment method. Without a connection you would have to check each voucher separately and book it out by hand.
Yes. If the bill is smaller than the voucher value, the remaining balance stays on the voucher and can be used on the next visit. If the bill is higher, the guest pays the rest in cash or by card.
With leafsystems you sell vouchers online directly via your POS; alternatively you use the Gastro Digital voucher shop with an interface to leafsystems. For Lightspeed (K-Series) we work with BON BON. Using a different POS system? Then talk to us – we'll show you what's possible with your POS.
Without a special rule, the statutory limitation period of three years applies in Germany, counted from the end of the year in which the voucher was purchased. A significantly shorter period is generally not permitted for value vouchers. BON BON applies exactly this rule: three years from the end of the year of purchase.
A value voucher for food and drinks is usually a multi-purpose voucher: at the time of sale it's not yet clear whether the guest will buy food (7%) or drinks (19%). That's why VAT only arises on redemption. A connected POS books this correctly automatically. It's best to clarify the details with your tax office.
That depends on the provider: some work with a commission per voucher sold, others with a fixed monthly fee, and there may also be a fee for the POS interface. We calculate which model is worthwhile for your voucher sales.
Yes. With leafsystems you sell gift cards in your business's design that are topped up at the till and redeemed via QR code. Gastro Digital also offers gift cards that are only topped up on site – so no unsecured value is left lying at the counter.
Yes, with a central solution the voucher is valid in all connected businesses, and accounting still remains clear. We set it up so that each branch sees its redemptions cleanly in the daily close.
We discuss with you which solution suits your POS, set up the voucher shop, connect it to your POS system and test sales and redemption on site. Finally, we show your team how redemption, remaining balances and the daily close work.
Online vouchers are one building block – together with the POS, card payment and the right add-ons, they create a system that fits your business.
