Gift Card Improvements

18 votes

The gift card function is now live....but it is very limited so we would like to suggest some improvements before the all important festive period arrives. We know some of us have been waiting a long time for gift cards so let's make it the best we can. My suggestions:

- Be able to choose the product name (currently it is Digital Gift Cards) and where it sits on the website (currently it is added a category which automatically sits in your shop navigation). So you can choose where it goes e.g. if you want to just have a page and link to it

- Be able to import / create images for the gift cards themselves so they reflect your brand

- Be able to edit the description, variant name, email sent

- The purchaser can add the recipients email address to receive the gift voucher direct with a message included. At the moment they have to forward the email or print it off

Marks and Spencer have a good example of using e-gift cards

Completely agree with the above.

Regarding the image though our account manager has said for the meantime you can send them a new image and they can change it for you.

All the above features would be a great addition to the Gift Card feature. We would also like to be able to add our own product description to the Gift Cards, like you can with any other product that we can add to our shop.

Yes, to all of the above, it feels like half a product at the moment.
