Layout

Under the Layout tab it is possible to select which gift card layouts should be used for the different ticket printers as well as the PDF download of the gift card. For the PDF it is possible to add multiple layouts and let the customer decide which layout they want to use when they download the PDF from their online receipt page. 

It could for example be used to offer a dedicated Christmas layout or a summer special.


Gift Card Groups

Via Administration > Gift Cards > Groups it is possible to create additional gift card groups. Groups can be used to create event specific gift cards, since they can be connected to individual event dates. Groups also belong to a specific organisation. Each group can gave a different expiry period. To create a new group, click Add group in the top right corner. 

This new gift card can be sold online via a dedicated purchase link as well as in Box Office in the regular gift card sales view.

It is possible to add a Prefix to the gift card group in order to distinguish them from the other gift cards.
A specific payment type can be created to connect to a gift card group, this way the specific payment type is used in reports and gift card usage can be tracked better.
