Gift Cards Extension
The Magento Gift Card Extension is a great way for you customers to buy gift cards to present to their friends and family. Friends and Family who receive these cards can use them to pay for the products they purchase at your store.
The Gift Cards Magento Extension is one way to give your customers a personalized experience at your online store. Customers can create gift cards of certain value at your store and give them to their friends and family. They can later on use these Gift Cards to pay for the purchases they made at your store.
Traditionally, gifting your loved one’s something meant endless wandering about stores and malls to find something perfect. The online gifts trend is rapidly catching on. The Gift Cards Extension allows users to create cards in three forms – either Physical, Virtual or a Combination of the two. A customer ordering a virtual gift card gets a code in their email that can be used at the time of payment for purchased products. A Physical Gift Card can be exported for printing. Whenever a gift card is created, the unique code that is generated can only be redeemed by one customer.
Store Admins must create a Gift Card Code Pool which can be used by customers. These codes are unique with a specific format. One code is permanently assigned to a gift card as soon as the card is created.
The Gift card Extension is extremely lightweight fulfills the task with minimum obstruction.
It is in line with the Magento Standard Workflow.
