Voucher numbers are made up of two parts:
- Voucher Identifier - this is used to identify what this voucher represents. For example, Adult Gift Voucher, $10 Voucher.
- Serial Number of Voucher - this is used to uniquely identify this specific voucher.
Voucher Barcode Data:
If you wish to use barcodes with your vouchers then also set up barcode details. The barcode structure must contain at least 2 parts (the Voucher Identifier and Voucher Serial Number) and may optionally for ticket types also include a checksum and expiry date. An example barcode structure is shown below:
Barcode Part | Sample Barcode Structure | Barcode Examples |
Voucher Identifier |
e.g. 5 characters long, positions 1-5 in the barcode. |
e.g. 01000 represents an Adult Gift Voucher |
Serial Number of Voucher |
e.g. 7 characters long, positions 6-12 in the barcode. |
e.g. 0000001 is the first voucher printed for a particular voucher type and 999999 is the last. |
Checksum - Optional - only used for Ticket Type Vouchers. |
e.g. 2 characters long, positions 13-14 in the barcode. |
This is a special checksum that Vista can calculate based on a formula known only to Vista. All barcode numbers can be generated and supplied to your printer. |
Expiry Date Optional - only used for Ticket Type Vouchers. |
e.g. 4 characters long, positions 15-18 in the barcode. |
e.g. 0506 is the MMYY that the voucher expires. |
