# Selling Gift Cards/Certificates

Sell a gift card or gift certificate in the SimpleSpa POS, with a custom code or amount if needed.

This page explains how to sell a gift card or gift certificate in the SimpleSpa POS.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Select the gift certificate

In the SimpleSpa POS, go to your gift cards and select the one you want to sell. If your client wants a different amount than the ones you have set up, use your template gift certificate (see [Gift Cards & Gift Certificates](/simplespa-documentation/daily-operations/gift-cards/gift-cards-and-gift-certificates.md)).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Edit the code or price (optional)

After adding the gift certificate, press the ![](https://695085455-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa9tSKQ7Cexg8YEba5Evb%2Fuploads%2FsVkYSv2n1ZIDDJCx5qWv%2FPencil%20Button%2002.webp?alt=media\&token=0519b972-51ea-4143-ab13-899b82280f8f) button. Here you can:

* Edit the gift certificate code. This is handy if you use your own internal numbering.
* Change the price to any amount you like.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update and complete the sale

Press **Update**. The gift certificate is now ready to be purchased.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

If you don't set a custom number, SimpleSpa automatically generates a gift certificate number for you.

## Why Edit a Gift Certificate?

1. **To assign your own custom code** instead of letting SimpleSpa issue one. This lets you load gift cards that already have pre-assigned codes into the system.
2. **To change the value** when the amount your client wants differs from the template. This removes any difference between cost and value, so both become the same price. If you want to give a discount, change the value here first, then use the **+Discount** button to apply the discount.
