Last updated 10 months ago

SimpleSpa offers a powerful gift card management tool, so you can issue and let your clients use their gift cards with a rolling balance. Our integrated payments also supports issuing custom magnetic Gift Cards that can be scanned and recorded with their balance always on check with our system. To create a Gift Card go to the section in SimpleSpa, if you haven't already made a Gift Certificate create one now. You can enter a name, a cost (how much will the Gift Card be purchased for), and a value (how much will this Gift Card be worth). We recommend that you create one Gift Certificate to serve as a template (same cost/value), and if you have promotional Gift Certificates then make those unique. The template Gift Certificate should be used when you have a client wanting to purchase a variable Gift Certificate
