Questions, answered

Why does gift card liability matter for finance?

Outstanding gift card balances are a liability on your balance sheet: you have received money but not yet delivered the goods. Tracking the total weekly helps you provision accurately and avoid surprises at period end.

Does it include expired gift cards?

No. WebRun reads only active gift cards with a remaining balance. Expired cards with zero balance are excluded. If your Epos Now account tracks expired card breakage separately, you can add that as an optional column.

Can it alert finance if the liability spikes?

Yes. WebRun flags any week where total liability has grown more than 20 percent compared with the prior week in the Google Sheets log. You can add a conditional email notification from Sheets if you want a proactive alert.
