Steps
1
Go to Gift Cards
Open the sidebar menu and select Gift Cards.

2
Tap New Gift Card
Tap New Gift Card. It shows to staff who may change gift cards.

3
Fill in the details
Turn Enable on. Enter the Amount to load. Set Max Usage (leave 0 for unlimited). Enter a unique Code, such as "GC2025". Add an optional Description, an Expires At date (blank for no expiry), and a Customer the card belongs to. See the Gift Card Overview.

4
Save
Tap Save. The card is ready to sell or give. You return to Gift Cards, where the new card is at the top.

What happens next
- The card exists with its full amount as the balance, in your store's currency, with no uses yet. Other devices are told only on plans with live sync.
Edge cases
- Codes are never reused. A code used by any card in your store, a deleted card included, is refused, because the printed card may still be in someone's wallet.
- Amount at least 1, and a code are required.
- Creating a card does not record a sale. If a customer pays you for it, record that sale separately.
- Set an expiry for seasonal or limited-time cards. Double-check the value and code before saving.
