Ability to create gift cards
We would like to have the ability to be able to actually create gift cards so that someone could book online with the gift card versus discount code and be taxed properly without me having to manually enter it? For example, the gift card would be taxed on rent amount since the discount is taxed on rent-discount ((a line item will be added with a negative amount after the guest books the dates/in a manual booking and the Tax on Rent would be applied on the Rent only))
If a gift card is written as a coupon code for a guest, hosts are realizing that is taxed differently than a discount and they could have issues if audited in the future.
Thank you!

I just put this in an other post about gift certificate.
Sorry Steph, but it's really not the same thing. People buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of gift certificates, from $100 to $800, before Christmas or throughout the year. Right now, all those tens of thousands of dollars are going through Shopify in our store. Hostfully should allow the sale of gift certificates and the creation of a unique code for each certificate. When the customer receives the gift, they simply apply the unique code from their gift certificate to get the discount applied. It's really not the same as a discount code. You must not run a short-term rental business to think it's the same thing.
