Setting up Gift Cards

Turning on the gift card feature:

To activate gift cards head over to Setup -> Gift Cards and click the switch next to Enable Gift Cards so that it displays a green tick.


Turning on Gift Card expiry:

On the Gift Card setup page, locate the Expiry section and click the button so that it displays a green tick. A Expires in section should now appear with a text field and a drop-down menu to customise your Gift Card expiry dates. 


Turning off the Gift Cards:

You can choose to disable Gift Cards if you no longer wish to use them in your store. To do this, head to Setup -> Gift Cards and click the switch next to Enable Gift Cards so that it turns grey.

Once you've done this, Gift Cards will be disabled, and you will no longer be able to issue gift cards from Vend.
