Creating and selling gift cards

You can activate gift cards on your store to sell gift card products, as well as create gift cards directly from your Shopify admin. Gift cards give your customers the opportunity to share their love for your brand with others.

From your Shopify admin, go to Products > Gift cards.

Click Add a gift card product.

Enter the gift card product information into the following fields:
  1. Title - Enter a name for this gift card product. For example: Birthday gift card.
  2. Description - Enter a description of this gift card product to display on your store.
  3. Media - Upload product media, such as an image. Product media is displayed on the product page of your online store.
  4. Search engine listing preview - This is a preview of how your gift card product might be displayed in search engine results.
  5. Sales channels and apps - View and change the availability settings to publish the gift card and sell it through your sales channels. You can click the calendar icon beside Online store to set a specific publishing date.
  6. Organization - You can add optional information about the product type and vendor, add the gift card product to existing manual collections, and add tags.
Optional: Make any adjustments to the number of gift card denominations and their values.

When you're done, click Save gift card product to create a new gift card product.

After your gift card product is saved, you're redirected to the gift card's product details page. You can add any additional product details, or make changes to the gift card product.

Your customer can use gift cards to make purchases from your storefront. If you have the Shopify POS sales channel, then your customer can also use gift cards in person.
