If you create Gift Certificate Items, Customers can purchase a Gift Certificate themselves through your company website. The Gift Certificate Item is displayed to your Customers in just the same way as your other bookable items.
- Buy Gift Certificate
Back to top
When a Customer selects a Gift Certificate Item for purchase, they are presented with a modal where they can confirm the Amount.
The Customer is then required to provide the name of the sender (From).
Customers can change the Theme of the Gift Certificate, by selecting one from the drop-down menu. This will only be an option if you have kept the Default Themes (Celebration, Seasonal or Summer) or have added multiple Custom Themes.
Next, the Customer will provide the name of the recipient (To), the Recipient Email address and a Message.
The Start Date and Expires date are displayed for reference purposes. Depending on the configuration of your Gift Certificate Item, the Expiry date may be a specific date or it may Never expire!
If the Customer chooses to purchase more than one Gift Certificate, they are able to specify unique information for each Gift Certificate.
- Gift Certificate with Custom Amount
Back to top
If the Gift Certificate is configured to support a Custom Amount, then an input field displays in place of the price. The acceptable range of values is displayed above the field for guidance purposes, for example: Between $5.00 to $1000.00.
- Create Booking and Payment
Back to top
After filling out Gift Certificate details for all Gift Certificates and clicking Continue, the Customer will be sent to the Create Booking screen where they can complete their purchase and payment as with standard bookings.
- Gift Certificate Notification
Back to top
After the purchase is completed, the sender will receive their usual purchase confirmation and the recipient will receive their Gift Certificate as a PDF attachment to the email.
This attachment contains a barcode that could be scanned by your business via a third-party barcode scanner. The Customer can either print out the Gift Certificate or present it on their mobile device screen.
