# Using Gift Certificates in Checkout
During the checkout process, make sure you have added all items in the cart
Press the +Gift Card button to expand the area that you can enter the code for the Gift Certificate or Card
Press Apply and if the GC is valid it will apply it to the cart
Once the Gift Cert/Certificate has been used during checkout the remaining balance will be used
## Customizing the amount to use from a Gift Certificate
If you do not want to apply the entire amount to the cart, press on the blue text depicting the amount applying to the cart
I.e. If we set the amount to 10 it will use $10 out of the $15 and the remaining $5 can be used at a future checkout
