How to create single gift certificate:
- In Cart Administration, click 'Gift Certificates' under 'Extra Features'.
- Click 'Create a new gift certificate'.
- Type in a 'Gift Certificate ID'. This can be any combination of numbers and letters. It is what the customer you give the certificate to will use to redeem it.
- Put in the amount the gift certificate is valid for. This is a dollar amount.
- Select an expiration date.
- Check the box if you don't want the gift certificate to be valid yet. You will need to uncheck this when you want it to start being valid.
- Mail the Gift Certificate ID to the customer you created it for.
How to make a button that will allow your customers to purchase gift certificates:
- In Cart Administration go to '"Add Cart" Code' under 'Button Builders'.
- Give it a description, such as 'Gift Certificate'.
- Give it a price. This will be the value the gift certificate can be redeemed for.
- In the 'Exempt' field, chose the option that says 'Gift Certificate' in it. This is what tells our system that the item being purchased is a gift certificate.
- Fill out any other fields you desire.
- Click 'Create Add To Cart Code'.
- Put the button on your site as you would any other product button.
- Now when customers buy that product, the cart will automatically generate Gift Certificate IDs for them.
