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 may optionally for ticket types also include a checksum and expiry date.
| 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. |
