All things Shopify and commerce
Hi!
I'm creating an online store for a massage therapist to help him automate gift card sales. I've created a few gift card products (as regular products), such as:
The therapist has currently physical gift cards and we'd like to replicate the look and feel of these gift cards in these digital gift cards as well.
I have a few requirements:
Some options I have considered:
What would you recommend?

This is an accepted solution.
The easiest solution by far would be to use the new built-in gift card feature from Shopify. Instead of setting the gift cards up as normal products you can create gift-card products (a sub-item of products in the shopify admin), which will automatically generate a unique voucher code for the purchaser. One restriction is that it can only be redeemed with the Shopify checkout - so the physical location would need to use the shopify POS also, or use the online store to verify the voucher code at least.

Then you could customise the post-purchase email to include and style your emails as needed.
You could also use a third party app, there's quite a few - Growave and Rise are quite well-rated, and Govolo has a free(ish) tier you could use, but I can't comment on it's quality:

Personally I'd stick with the built-in Shopify method.

Thanks! I looked more thoroughly into it and it looks like a good solution. We'll just need to adjust some of the texts in the gift card itself to avoid confusion. My only concern is that gift cards won't be included in the Basic plan some day in the future but we'll have to figure out a plan B for that scenario.
