The Gift Certificate Flow

  1. 🎁 A client purchases or receives a gift certificate

  2. 📧 They receive a confirmation email with:

    • The gift code

    • A link to a branded preview page

    • A “Add to Apple Wallet” button

  3. 🍏 They tap the button, preview the pass, and add it to Wallet

  4. 🏪 When they visit your spa, they:

    • Open their Wallet

    • Show the pass QR code at checkout

  5. 🎯 You scan the QR using your POS or camera, and it auto-fills the code

QR Code Scanning at Checkout

You can now scan a gift certificate QR using:

  • 📷 A camera on your POS computer/tablet

  • 🔘 The built-in “Scan with Camera” button

  • 🎯 Your terminal scanner (if enabled)

This automatically detects the gift code and enters it in the gift certificate field — no typing required.

⚡ Tip: The scanner supports both QR codes and barcodes, so if you add physical GCs in the future, they’ll work too!

📌 Summary

Apple Wallet and QR support dramatically improve the redemption experience:

  • Less friction for clients

  • Faster checkouts

  • Modern, branded feel
