3.2. Click Gift Cards.




3.3. Click Templates.




3.4. Click New.




3.5. Setup Gift Card
- Search and find the gift card Item, previously created in Inventory module.
- Single Use, when set to Yes, the gift card can only be use one time, regardless if the amount was fully used.
- Usage Limit, even if single use is set to No, there is still the possibility to limit the Gift card usage amount.
- Validity in Days, can setup an expiration period, for example if it as validity of one year, the setup would be 365 days. If its not fully used after one year, it will change status to expired.
- Gift card Value, amount to be redeemed.




3.5.1. There are 2 types of Gift Cards available to be configured.
- Value Only, the value defined can be redeemed for any item.




- Activity and Retail, restrictions can be added for the gift card being redeemed on a specific item or group.
As per example below I have done the configuration to include the one Full body massage, using Add + by Article, and one Spa Retail item (any), using Add + by Group.
Option Add OR, will make guest choose between two items and/or Groups.
Option Duplicate, allows to duplicate the same line, in scenario where it would be necessary to add five Full body massage, this would save time.



Once the template is saved and Gift Card used, we strongly recommend not to change any of the above configurations and simply make a brand new configuration.
