Massage gift voucher template: print it, fill it in, sell it.

A massage gift voucher needs five things: the salon name, what it is for (an amount or a specific massage), a unique number, an expiry date and short redemption terms. Below is a free printable template in two versions, the list of fields and suggested terms to copy.

This free massage gift voucher template comes in two versions on one page: a value voucher (an amount to spend on any massage) and a treatment voucher (for example a 90-minute Balinese massage). Fill in the fields in square brackets before printing, or by hand when you sell it.

General information as of November 2026, not legal or tax advice. Agree the accounting and tax treatment of vouchers with your accountant and check your voucher terms for your country.

Which version to choose? A value voucher is flexible: the recipient picks the massage and can pay the difference for a more expensive one. A treatment voucher sells better as a present, because the buyer gives "a Balinese massage for two", not "an amount". Having both is simplest.

What to write on a massage gift voucher

There is no official voucher form. The fields below settle almost every dispute at redemption:

FieldWhyStatus
Salon name and addressThe recipient knows where to use it; important for chains with several locationsrequired
Amount, or the treatment name and lengthDefines what the client gets; for a massage, state the minutesrequired
Unique numberProtects against copies and double redemption; lets you issue a replacementrequired
Expiry dateWithout a date, a dispute about an "old voucher" is hard to settlerequired
How to bookPhone or booking link, with a request to quote the voucher numberrequired
Link to the full termsFull terms will not fit on an A6 cardrequired
Recipient's name, personal messageMakes the present feel personaloptional
Date of saleUseful when validity is counted from purchaserecommended (at least in your register)

What not to write: the purchase price on a treatment voucher (the recipient does not need to know it) and health claims ("cures back pain") unless your salon offers therapeutic massage.

How to fill in a voucher, step by step

  1. Give it the next number from your register, for example V-2026-0142. A register can be a simple spreadsheet: number, date of sale, amount or treatment, payment, expiry, redemption date, remaining balance.
  2. Write the amount or treatment exactly as on your menu: "Balinese massage, 90 min", not "relaxing massage".
  3. Write the expiry as a date, not "12 months", because the recipient does not know when it was bought.
  4. Take payment and issue a receipt the way your accountant advises for vouchers.
  5. At redemption check the number in the register, note the date, and for a value voucher record what is left.

When we built Rytuo with a Balinese massage salon, what took reception's time was not vouchers themselves but the questions "has this number been used?" and "how much is left on this card?". A register kept from the very first voucher ends both.

Expiry date: how long, and local rules

  • Ireland: gift vouchers sold to consumers must generally be valid for at least five years from purchase (Consumer Protection (Gift Vouchers) Act 2019).
  • United Kingdom: check your local rules; whatever you choose, show it clearly before purchase and keep the terms fair.
  • United States: rules on gift certificate expiry and fees differ between federal and state law; check the rules for your state.

Good practice everywhere: a reminder before the voucher expires if you know the buyer or recipient, and a clear rule on extensions. Extending is better than losing a client and getting a bad review.

Suggested redemption terms

Copy, fill in the brackets and publish on your website at the address printed on the voucher. For online sales, show these terms before payment.

  1. This voucher entitles the holder to [the amount / the named treatment] at [salon name, address].
  2. The voucher is valid until the date printed on it. [Optional: before that date you can ask once for an extension of [3] months.]
  3. Please book in advance by phone on [phone] or at [website], quoting the voucher number.
  4. A value voucher can be used over several visits. You can pay the difference for a more expensive treatment.
  5. A treatment voucher covers the named treatment regardless of later price changes.
  6. Cancellations and changes follow our normal booking policy: [link to cancellation policy].
  7. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash, except where the law gives the buyer a right to a refund, such as cancelling an online purchase.
  8. The recipient may pass the voucher on. If it is lost, we will issue a replacement based on the number and purchase details.

Point 6 matters for your rota: a recipient who does not turn up blocks a room just like any other client. More in how to reduce no-shows. Pricing your vouchers: how to price massage services.

Checklist before you sell your first voucher

  1. A value and a treatment design with name, number, expiry and a link to the terms.
  2. A voucher register: number, date of sale, payment, expiry, redemption, balance.
  3. Redemption terms published on your website and shown before online purchase.
  4. The accounting and tax treatment agreed with your accountant.
  5. Cancellation information for online sales, checked for your country.
  6. A reminder before expiry and a rule for extensions.

Skip the paper: vouchers in Rytuo

In Rytuo gift vouchers sell on your website around the clock, as value or treatment vouchers. The buyer gets a link to a printable voucher with a personal message in your salon's colors, and every voucher has a number and expiry date. Reception redeems it when closing the visit, the balance updates itself, and you see how many vouchers are outstanding and which expire soon, without a separate spreadsheet. Planning the holidays? Read the Christmas gift voucher plan.

Questions

How long should a massage gift voucher be valid?

Long enough for the recipient to find a time; many salons choose 12 months where the law allows it. In Ireland, gift vouchers sold to consumers must generally be valid for at least five years under the Consumer Protection (Gift Vouchers) Act 2019. In the UK and the US (where rules vary by state) check your local rules. Print the expiry date on the voucher and show it before purchase.

Can a voucher expire unused?

Where your local law allows an expiry date, yes, as long as the date was clearly shown before purchase and the terms are fair. A very short validity hidden in small print invites disputes. Have your voucher terms checked if you are unsure.

Can a client return a voucher bought online?

Online sales to consumers often come with a cooling-off or cancellation right, and the details differ between the UK, Ireland, the US and other countries. Show the cancellation terms before payment and check what applies to your online shop.

Is this template free to use?

Yes. Print it, fill in the fields by hand or save it as a PDF from the print dialog and edit it in any PDF editor. You may use it for your own salon.
