Gift cards

## What you can do

- ### Gift-card products you create

  Create as many gift-card products as you want, each with its own amount and image, from the Dashboard.

- ### Configurable amounts

  Set the amount for each gift-card product you offer.

- ### Customers buy and send them

  Customers buy a gift-card product from your website or customer app and send it to a recipient with a title and a message.

- ### Delivered by email

  The recipient gets the gift card by email.

- ### A code and a password to redeem

  Redeeming a gift card takes its code and a password, so it is harder to use than a card left lying around.

- ### Redeemed into Cash Wallet

  Once redeemed, the gift card's amount is added to the recipient's Cash Wallet to spend on a future order.

- ### Pending and redeemed status

  Gift card manager lists every card as Pending or Redeemed, with the purchaser, redeemer, purchase date, and redeemed date.

- ### Turn it on for your platform

  Turn gift cards on or off for your platform from the Dashboard.

Dashboard

## Create as many gift-card products as you need.

Turn gift cards on for your platform, then create gift-card products from the Dashboard, each with its own name, amount, and image.

- Turn on gift-card availability for your platform
- Create a gift-card product with a name, an amount, and an image
- Enable or disable a gift-card product at any time
- Create as many gift-card products as you want, for as many amounts as you offer

Website and customer app

## Customers buy and send gift cards.

From your website or customer app, customers buy a gift-card product you created and send it to a recipient by email.

- Customers choose one of the gift-card products you created and buy it from the website or customer app
- Customers add a recipient, a title, and a message before they send it
- The recipient gets the gift card by email
- Each gift card keeps the amount and image of the product it was bought from

Website and customer app

## Redeeming a gift card credits the Cash Wallet.

The recipient enters the gift card's code and password to redeem it, and the amount is added to their Cash Wallet to spend on a future order.

- Enter the gift card's code and password to redeem it
- The redeemed amount is added to the recipient's Cash Wallet
- Track every card as Pending or Redeemed in Gift card manager, with the purchaser, redeemer, purchase date, and redeemed date

## Grow brand awareness and bring customers back.

Gift cards are a program you shape around your business and products, then add to the marketing campaigns you run.

- Customers can buy and send a gift card without wrapping or shipping anything physical
- Set up a gift-card offer for a specific product in your catalog, with your own conditions and rules
- Gift cards can help bring customers back to your brand

How it works

## From setup to the next order.

1. 01**Create your gift-card products**

   Turn on gift cards in the Dashboard, then create a product for each amount and design you want to offer.

2. 02**Customers buy and send them**

   A customer buys a gift card from your website or customer app and sends it to a recipient by email.

3. 03**Recipients redeem the balance**

   The recipient enters the card's code and password, and the amount is added to their Cash Wallet.

## Good to know

- Redeeming a gift card adds its amount to the recipient's Cash Wallet, the same balance covered in Customer wallets.
- Gift card manager tracks a card's status only; it does not show a card's code, password, or balance, which stay with the card and the customer's wallet.
