How Do I Add a Gift Card to Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:50 pm

If you’re looking to add a gift card to your Shopify account, there are a few different ways you can go about it. The first way is to add a gift card through the Shopify admin. To do this, simply click on the “Gift Cards” tab under “Products” in your Shopify admin.

From here, you can either add a new gift card or edit an existing one. If you’re adding a new gift card, you’ll need to specify the gift card’s details, such as the amount, title, and message. Once you’ve done this, click on the “Save” button and your new gift card will be created.

If you want to add a gift card to your Shopify store via an app, there are a few different apps available that can help you with this. One such app is called “Gift Card Plus”, which allows you to create and manage gift cards for your Shopify store.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a gift card to your Shopify account, please be aware that there are some potential risks involved.

Firstly, it is important to note that Shopify does not currently support the ability to add funds to a gift card balance. This means that if you add a gift card to your account, the value of the card will be deducted from your total balance immediately.

Secondly, please be aware that adding a gift card to your Shopify account will create a new subscription with the provider of the gift card. This subscription will be independent of any other subscriptions you may have with Shopify, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the gift card provider.

Finally, please note that adding a gift card to your Shopify account may impact your ability to use certain features of the Shopify platform. For example, if you have a Shopify Payments account, you may no longer be able to use it if you add a gift card to your account.

We recommend that you carefully consider these potential risks before adding a gift card to your Shopify account.

Another app that can help you with adding gift cards to your Shopify store is called “Gift Card Wallet”. This app allows customers to easily store and manage their gift cards in one place.

Once you’ve decided how you want to add gift cards to your Shopify account, it’s time to start promoting them to your customers! You can do this by creating a special page on your website dedicated to gift cards, or by adding a banner or announcement on your home page. You can also promote gift cards through social media, email marketing, and other marketing channels.

If you have physical stores, you can promote gift cards there as well. For example, you can put up signs in your store that say “Gift Cards Available!” or place flyers in the checkout area promoting gift cards.

No matter how you choose to promote them, make sure that your customers know that they can purchase gift cards for your store. This will help increase sales and ensure that your business is top of mind for when people are looking to shop for gifts.
