Adding additional extras to a gift card product
Extras apply only to the gift card product itself and do not cover the value of extras that recipients purchase for the actual product/experience. For example, a typical extra on a gift card product is postage or printing services.
Do not use gift card extras for product extras such as photos, additional equipment, or services used with your products and experiences.
Note: The recipient can still purchase any additional extras you might have set up for the product itself. Upon checkout, they pay for any additional costs not covered by the gift value.
How to view generated vouchers
When a guest purchases a gift card or a product as a gift, you can find the vouchers in their order.
- Scroll to the Products section of their order.
- View the voucher number/s next to the amount.
Tip: Click the voucher number to open the settings page and view or change the details.
