Common queries regarding the Voucher module
- The import of my vouchers keeps failing - why is this?
- The most common reason is the format of the date - it needs to be year-month-day. (with the hyphens). If it's still not working, email the file over to pos.support.uk.ie@sumup.com and we'll be able to review it and correct any formatting issues.

- Can I delete a voucher?
- No - unfortunately not. However a workaround would be to set the expiry date to a point in the past to invalidate it, or set the amount to £0. This can be done from the back office by going to Pro > Vouchers > Voucher list > select the voucher. Then select the voucher, and choose "change expiry date" or "top-up balance".
- I'm getting an error when paying by voucher that says "Gift Card product ID (xxxx-xxxx), not found, please try again or call the support number".
- This is because there is a Voucher 'product' in your Product List that has been made inactive or deleted. To resolve the issue, in your back office go to Products > Product List, find and edit the Voucher product and reactivate it (you may also need to make it shareable if you have multiple outlets that use vouchers).
- Can I integrate Vouchers with WooCommerce?
- No, unfortunately at the moment the integration doesn't support this.
- Can Vouchers be redeemed through Goodeats?
- Yes, however this has to be enabled by us in advance. Please contact pos.billing.uk.ie@sumup.com to have this added on to your SumUp POS settings.
- How can I map my vouchers sold into my Xero integration as a liability?
- Firstly you'll need to have already integrated Xero with your SumUp POS account - please follow the steps here for how to do this.
- Ensure that you have a liability account created in Xero. If you don't already have this then you can set it up in your Xero account by going to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Add Account:
- select liability as the account type
- Add in a code
- Give it a name
- Ensure 'make payments to this account' is ticked
- Then in the SumUp Point of Sale back office in the Xero mappings page set up the integration to export by product or category.
- If exporting by product, then go to Products > Product List > Search for Voucher > Edit > write in the liability account code into the account code field > Submit.
- If exporting by category then go to Products > Category > Create a category called Voucher, and add in your Liability account code > Submit. Then go to Products > Product List > Search for Voucher > Edit > and choose the Voucher category > Submit
- This will then send any voucher purchases to a liability account.
