Create a Gift Certificate

Create gift certificates individually using Business Manager. Because you can't stage gift certificates, create and manage them in your Production environment.

Whether a gift certificate is redeemable depends on its status and whether it's enabled. After a gift certificate is created, its value cannot be edited. It can only be redeemed.

Status Description Enabled=True Enabled=False
Pending An existing, unredeemable gift certificate Not redeemable Not redeemable
Issued An existing, unused gift certificate Redeemable Not redeemable
Partially Redeemed A gift certificate with part of the balance redeemed Redeemable Not redeemable
Redeemed A gift certificate with no remaining balance Not redeemable Not redeemable
