Selling gift cards in-house

There are multiple ways to sell a gift card:

  1. From the 'Customers Profile' (in the Gift Card / Credit tab)
  2. From the 'Gift Cards' page (Manage > Gift Cards)
  3. By adding a gift card to a sale (explained below)

To sell a gift card via a sale, open the sale and click:

  • The down arrow next to + Product, then
  • Add gift cards

There are two options for creating gift cards:

Option 1: The gift card can be Gifted to a customer.

This means that it will be emailed to the customer as a gift at a scheduled time.

The gift card will not be linked to the customer file until the customer views the email and follows the prompts to claim it.

Option 2: The gift can be Assigned to the customer,

This means the gift card will be immediately noted in the recipient's customer profile.

Custom numbers: You may enter your own gift card number in the 'Custom Number field'. This number will replace the system-generated number and will be valid for use when paying online.
