Gift receipts

Receipts may be presented as proof of a transaction for the purpose of redeeming or returning the product. Some merchants offer "gift receipts" (also called "gift certificates") which are special receipts specifically designed for this purpose. Unlike a normal purchase receipt, the gift receipt omits certain information, particularly the price that an item is actually paid for. The receipt usually has a barcode on the bottom so the retailer can access transaction information from a database of previous purchases, authenticating a return.
