You can offer a discount on generic gift vouchers. For example, if you offer a 10% discount on generic gift vouchers, and the price of the gift voucher is usually $100, customers using the promotion will be required to pay $90, but the value of the gift voucher will be $100.
If you wish, you can also set for which generic gift vouchers the promotion is valid. For example, you can offer a discount for some generic gift vouchers but not others.
