Note: Purchasing/receiving a gift card does not automatically add the balance to store credit. It only appears in the wallet or Manage Store Credit page once the user redeems it to the store credit balance/wallet.

Whether a gift card is purchased from the store or sent directly by the store owner to the customer, customers can use it in two ways.

  1. Similar to coupons, you apply the gift card code at checkout. The gift card remains valid until the balance is exhausted.
  2. Redeem the gift card for store credit in your wallet. Users can use their wallet balance during checkout, which simplifies managing multiple gift cards.
