Before you can sell gift cards, turn on the program and set a few defaults. Go to Setup Get paid Gift Cards and open Settings.

Gift Card Settings in TripWorks — toggles to enable the program and show the catalog tile, a default design picker, four price options, and an expiration setting
Gift Card Settings: program, catalog tile, default design, price options, and expiration.

Settings

  • Enable Gift Card Program — gives customers the ability to shop for and redeem gift cards. Turn this on first.
  • Show Gift Card tile in the e-commerce catalog — lets customers buy and redeem gift cards right from your online store. Leave it off to keep gift cards to staff-sold only.
  • Default / featured gift card design — the design shown first when someone buys a gift card. Set up designs under Design your gift cards.
  • Price options — the four suggested amounts (First through Fourth price option) guests see at checkout. They can still enter a custom amount.
  • Set an initial expiration date — when on, every new gift card gets an expiration date; set Expires after (years) to control how long a card is valid.

Select Save when you're done.

Frequently asked questions

Do guests have to use one of the preset amounts?

No. The four price options are suggestions — guests can enter a custom amount at checkout.

Do gift cards expire?

Only if you turn on Set an initial expiration date and set Expires after (years). Leave it off and cards don't expire. An expired card can be reactivated later — see Manage gift cards.
