Who it's for

Where a gift card code comes from

  • A giveaway on social media

    Create a card in your admin for the winner and send them the code.

  • A store fixing a late delivery

    Email the customer a gift card code with your apology. They spend it on the next order.

  • A boutique with a register

    Issue a card at the register while you serve a customer, and check its balance there later (Business and Enterprise).

Balances

Every balance stays tied to its order

  1. Pay toward an order

    Customers enter the code at checkout on your storefront, and the card's balance comes off the total.

  2. Put the money back on a refund

    Refund or cancel an order paid by gift card, and the amount goes back on the same card.
