Issue gift cards and store credit

Sell and issue stored value while understanding checkout, ledger, refund, and account requirements.

Updated

On this page
Plan availability: Pro. Gift Cards & Store Credit require Pro or higher. Previously issued value remains redeemable after access is lost. The active production feature matrix is authoritative if an administrator changes an entitlement.

Open Gift Cards

Open Gift Cards to create fixed-denomination gift-card products, issue cards, grant store credit, view ledgers, resend codes, void cards, and review adjustments.

What customers see

Gift-card-only carts skip physical fulfillment selection. Mixed carts still validate pickup, delivery, or shipping for physical products.

Stored-value rules

  • Only one stored-value tender is supported per checkout.
  • Store credit requires an authenticated customer; a typed checkout email is not identity proof.
  • Stored value reduces the payment amount due now, including a deposit, but does not change subtotal, tax, discounts, or remaining balance.
  • Subscription checkout rejects gift cards and store credit.

Common problems

  • Gift-card products are excluded from Quick Sale.
  • Gift-card lines cannot use coupons, loyalty points, gift cards, or store credit.
  • Hosted Square checkout links do not support stored-value tender.
  • Full card codes should only appear at issuance/resend time; use suffixes in support notes.
