How do I sell Gift Cards online?

You can sell Gift Cards online:

On your business website by inserting the Ovatu Gift Card Widget code into it
On your business website by inserting the Ovatu Website Booking Bot into it
On your Ovatu mini-site

Passes can also be giftable. When this is done the Pass shows on the Gift Card page on your mini-site and Gift Card website Widget (if you have inserted that Widget into your business website)

When a Gift Card is sold online the purchaser provides their own name, email address, message to the recipient (included in the Gift Card email to the recipient), delivery date (The date the Gift Card email is to be sent to the recipient) and also the recipient's name and email address:

The system then works as below;

The system automatically emails a receipt for the Gift Card purchase to the purchaser, and also emails the Gift Card to the recipient (on the selected date) asking them to 'claim' the gift card
The Gift Card is noted on the Manage > Gift Cards page with an 'Unclaimed' tag and the recipients name and email address is noted. As the gift card is currently unclaimed, it is not automatically applied to the recipient's Customer profile. This complies with privacy regulations around the world.
The recipient clicks on the link in the Gift Card email to 'claim' the Gift Card. The Gift Card is then applied to the Customer's profile and the 'Unclaimed' tag is removed on the Manage > Gift Cards page. To manually apply the Gift Card to the recipient click on the View/Edit button for the Gift Card and use the Customer field to search for and select the Customer. Then Save that change.
