The gift card manager is a quick and easy way to find and control gift cards that have been purchased by your customers through your online store. This is not the location where you can create new gift cards that you wish to sell, nor is it the location where you can edit gift cards that are for sale, for these features please visit the product manager. This page is used to view and manage gift cards that have already been purchased.



Example: You sell 50 gift cards to customers through your online store, one of these customers didn't activate their gift card and you want to administratively activate the card for them to use.

How To: Before you can start managing gift cards you need to enable gift cards as a payment option in the Event Manager configuration. If this step has already been completed you can skip ahead. To enable gift cards as a payment option go to "Configuration". Then use the search box at the top left to search for "giftcards" and turn on "Enable Gift Cards as Payment".

Next go to Settings > Gift Card. This will list all of the gift cards that have been purchased.
You can search for a gift card code in the top left with either the entire code, the first four characters, or the last four characters.
