Add recipient fields to your gift card products

You can activate the following recipient fields for yourgift card products:

  • recipient email
  • recipient name
  • custom message

Your customers that buy a gift card product have an option send a gift card product with a custom message to someone else. Your customers can choose to schedule the gift card product and send it at a specific date, or send the gift card product immediately after the purchase.

A personalized email that contains the custom message and a gift card code is sent to the recipient. Your customer receives a notification that contains the gift card code, and confirms that the gift card was sent to the recipient.
