Set up gift cards

Switch gift card sales on or off, choose up to five preset amounts for the till and decide how long a gift card is valid by default.

Gift cards are on by default, with preset amounts of €25, €50, €75, €100 and €150 and a validity of 1 year. Here you change that or switch them off. You sell gift cards in the salon. A gift card that has been sold can be spent at all of your locations.

Switch gift cards on or off

  1. Go to Settings › Sales › Gift cards in the menu.
  2. Click Edit next to Availability and values. If someone switched gift cards off, you see Gift cards inactive and click Activate.
  3. In Gift card settings, switch Gift cards on or off.
  4. Under Amounts, add the preset amounts with Add amount and fill them in. You can set up to five. The bin icon removes an amount.
  5. Under Validity period, choose how long a gift card is valid by default.
  6. Click Save.

The page then shows Available for sale, the Default expiry date and the preset amounts under Gift card amount.

The validity period

You choose from 7 or 14 days, 1 to 6 months, 1, 2 or 3 years, or Never. The period starts on the day of sale and the card is valid up to and including the last day. If you sell a card on 7 October for 1 year, it can be used up to and including 7 October the year after. At the till, the Custom amount window leaves out 4 and 5 months; you can pick them afterwards in Add gift card.

  • If you change the validity period, it only applies to cards you sell afterwards.
  • When selling, you can choose a different validity period per card.
  • You can still move the end date of a sold card later under Checkout › Gift cards.

What the preset amounts do

At checkout, each preset amount appears as a tile on the Gift cards tab, next to Custom amount. One click puts a card on the sale. If you switch gift cards off, the Gift cards tab disappears at checkout.

You need the permission Can create or edit gift cards for this. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
