Gift Card Code

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Issue five prize gift codes limited to the winners, redeemable once, non-shareable, and possibly valid for a single product. Seeks setup guidance.

Proposed approaches:

  • Discount codes tied to email: Create individual discount codes and email them to the five winners; configure each code for single-use only.
  • Third‑party app (LockOn – Restrict Store): Generate multiple gift card codes, tag winner accounts (e.g., “winner”), and allow redemption only if the tag is present. App claims it prevents sharing, supports single-use per code, and can restrict codes to specific products. Contact via the app for setup details.

Notes/clarifications:

  • “Tagging” refers to adding a label to a customer profile and checking it during redemption.
  • The discount-code route addresses single-use and recipient specificity via email association; the app route targets true gift card codes with access control and product-level restrictions.

Status: No confirmed solution chosen; discussion remains open. Key unresolved point is whether to use native discount codes versus a third‑party app for gift card–specific controls and product restriction.

Hello, Looking at your query we recommend using our LockOn - Restrict Store Application for your needs.

This app allows you to create multiple gift card codes that can be shared with your winners using email. You just need to assign a tag (e.g., “winner”) to these customers. When a winner tries to redeem their gift card, the app checks for the tag on their profile. If the tag is present, the code can be redeemed; otherwise, it cannot.

This prevents winners from sharing their codes with others. Additionally, you can set codes for specific products and ensure each code can be redeemed only once through our application.

Feel free to connect with us through the app to learn more about how it works within your workflow.
