Updated over 6 months ago

This article will talk you through how to set up and manage your gift vouchers within Aesthetic Nurse Software.

Gift vouchers within ANS can be purchased online or in person with the patient and can be customised for a specific expiry and the colours of your brand.

To learn how to set up and sell your gift vouchers, watch our short video below. Alternatively, follow simple steps below.


Creating Gift Vouchers

The first area of gift vouchers you will need to set up is the actual gift vouchers you would like patients to purchase within the software.

Step 1 :

From the main menu, head to settings.

Step 2 :

Once in settings, head to gift vouchers under the heading online booking.

Step 3 :

This is where all your gift vouchers will be stored and also where you can find a list of voucher sales. But to add a new voucher, click new voucher.

Step 4 :

You then just need to fill out the details of the voucher. First you will need to name the voucher.

Step 5 :

After you have the total value, this is the value of the voucher for the patient to use on a treatment.

Step 6 :

After you have the price, this is how much you are purchasing the voucher for.

If the value of the voucher and the amount the patient is paying for the voucher is the same these amounts should just be added as the same. They will only be different if the voucher is worth more.

Step 7 :

You then have how long the voucher is active for after being purchased.

Step 8 :

The quantity box is how many of these vouchers you would like to sell, if the voucher is unlimited keep a '0' in this section.

This just allows you to limit the amount sold if you have a special offer running.

Step 9 :

You can then link the clinic you would like the voucher to be available to use at and add a description for the voucher.

If you work at multiple clinics and you would like the voucher to be available at all of them just link all clinics. If the voucher is used at a clinic not assigned to the voucher this will flag when the voucher is redeemed.

Step 10 :

Once happy with your voucher details, click create voucher.

Step 11 :

This will then add the new voucher to your list.

If you then need to add another voucher, just repeat this process again.

Step 12 :

You then have the ability to turn on and off this voucher. This would be used for seasonal vouchers throughout the year.

Step 13 :

You have the ability to edit the voucher at any stage.

Step 14 :

You can also customise the voucher.

Step 15 :

Once selected, you will be able to change the colour of each area of the voucher.

Step 16 :

You can also delete a voucher if this is no longer needed within your clinic.

If a voucher is deleted, patients who have purchased this voucher will still be able to redeem this in clinic or online. The voucher will just not be available to purcahse or show in your list anymore.

Step 17 :

You can also view your voucher sales within this section.

Step 18 :

This will show you the list of vouchers which have currently been sold and if they were purchased in clinic or online.


Purchasing Gift Vouchers In Clinic

Once you have created all of your vouchers you will be able to puchase these in clinic with your patients.

Step 19 :

To puchase the voucher with the patient, you will first need to head into the patient record.

Step 20 :

Once in the record, you will be able to select voucher credits.

Step 21 :

This will then show any active vouchers for the patient, but to purchase a new voucher, select the add credit option.

Step 22 :

You will then be able to select which voucher you would like to puchase.

If the voucher you would like to purchase is not within this section, you will just need add this into the settings of the software first.

Step 23 :

You will then be able to see the price of the voucher.

Step 24 :

The email address the voucher is being sent to will also appear.

Once the voucher has been sold, the email address which appears in this box will be sent the voucher straight away.

Step 25 :

You then have your payment options to take payment for the gift voucher sale.

Step 26 :

Once sold, the voucher will appear in the voucher sales section of your gift voucher settings.

Step 27 :

An email will also be sent to the patient with the gift voucher and voucher number to be used at their next appointment.


Purchasing Gift Vouchers Online

From a patient point they are also able to purchase vouchers from your online booking page.

Step 28 :

Your patient would visit your booking link, like they would to book a treatment appointment. But instead of heading to the treatment tab they will head to the gift voucher tab.

If you do not have an online booking page at the moment but would like to start using our booking page, head to our specific guide on how to set up your booking page.

Step 29 :

Your patients will then be able to view all the active vouchers you have.

Step 30 :

Once a voucher has been selected by the patient they can either choose to send the voucher to themsleves.

Step 31 :

Alternatively, they can send the voucher to someone else.

Once you pay for the voucher, this will automatically send to the email address entered into the recepient email address box.

Step 32 :

Then when happy, the patient can then choose to pay where they will be guided to stripe to make payment.

Step 33 :

Once paid, the voucher sale will show within the gift voucher settings section.

Step 34 :

The patient or the recepient will then recieve an email with the gift voucher to redeem in clinic.


Redeeming A Gift Vouchers

Once your patient has purchased their gift voucher, they can then redeem this against their treatment when they come in for treatment or online.

Step 35 :

To redeem the voucher in clinic, you will first need to head to the patient record and into the appointment.

Step 36 :

Then, you will need to head to the invoice at the end of the treatment documentation.

Step 37 :

Then choose the others option to take payment for the invoice via a gift voucher.

Step 38 :

You will then have the option to make payment via gift voucher.

Step 39 :

You will then just need to ask the patient for the voucher number and enter how much of the voucher they are redeeming for this appointment.

The patient is able to redeem as much of the voucher they would like. Once partly redeemed the voucher will be assigned to this patient.

Step 40 :

Once applied, the redeemed voucher will show on the patients invoice.

Step 41 :

With the online booking page the patient will just need to enter the voucher code into the online booking page. This will then assign the voucher to the patient to redeem when they come into clinic.

If you request a deposit for your online bookings, the patient will need to pay this to book the appointment online even if a voucher is applied.
