Sell and take gift cards
How they work
A gift card is a code worth money in your shop's currency. The balance only changes through a record of each use, so it can't drift.

Issue a card
Set the amount, a note and an email to send it to. An expiry day is optional.
Share the code
It looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Sell them online
Open a product
Tick Sell as a gift card. It's always digital.
The code is emailed when it's paid
To the Recipient email the buyer fills in, otherwise to the buyer. Add a Message box if you like.
A full refund switches the cards off
What's already been spent stays spent.
At checkout
Shoppers type the code in Gift card code. The card is spent when the order is paid, not when it's placed. Discount codes never apply to a gift card. If it doesn't cover everything, the rest is paid by card or PayPal. A refund goes to their payment first, then back onto the card.
Questions
Can a gift card pay for a gift card?
No.
Is there a limit on wrong guesses?
Yes. Repeated wrong codes from one connection lock out, as sign-in does.
Do cards work in other currencies?
They're in your shop's own currency.
