HI there, @user14939 and welcome to the Community :wave:

We actually have a similar idea for a future widget: Vouchers Widget - Add a Discount Coupon Feature to Your Website (2024)

But we would be so grateful if you could describe your use case by answering these questions:

  • What types of gift vouchers do you envision?

  • What level of customization do you want for the gift cards? Should customers be able to add personal messages or choose designs?

  • How should customers redeem their gift vouchers? Do you have specific requirements or restrictions for the redemption process?

  • Should the gift vouchers have expiration dates?

Any additional info would be highly appreciated :pray:

Hi there, after googling I came across a post by elsight that mentioned a widget for e-gift cards that was compatible with Square gift cards (they do not offer custom code). I’m not able to find anything related to digital gift cards or Square gift cards. I’ve seen this embedded on other sites so I know it’s possible. Would love to use this service to do it. Thank you!

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Jason_Morris :wave:

We don’t have such an app in our catalog, but we have a similar idea on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with it.

Could you please describe your use case in more detail and specify which features you’d like to see in this app?

It would great to have a GIFT CARD widget integrated with stripe. It sents digital gift cards by email with send NOW option or SCHEDULE with couple images to pick from. Something would bring elfsight lots of business and improve our experience as majority of businesses looking to have their own digital gift cards.

Hi there, @user18772 :waving_hand:

Thank you for the feedback!

We already have a similar Wishlist idea. I’ve moved your comment to the related thread, where we’ll keep you in the loop :slightly_smiling_face:

  • What types of gift vouchers do you envision?

( gift card purchase page where end user can purchase or schedule a gift card as a gift to send to someone )

  • What level of customization do you want for the gift cards? Should customers be able to add personal messages or choose designs?

1- Choose an image related the gift [Happy birthday-Thank you-Simple background-or Custom upload]

2- Choose a recipient and type the sender information

3- Send now or schedule sending

4- Both sender and recipient should receive a copy

5- Payment go through normal stripe payment + enable klarna as an option

6- Get 3 emails confirmation (Web owner, gift card sender, gift card receipient)

7- Confirmation should be imported coupons code that can be generated or imported in bulk .cv on Elfsight to be used.

8- Starting would be packages $20, $40,$100 can be custom on elfsight as a product or item

9- Would be great to have POP or IMAP custom email on elfsight inside the widget so the sender and recipient receive an email from the webmaster to reduce recipient from contacting elfsight for customer service. Totally on the webmaster to provide customer service on the gift card.

10- The codes or coupon code sent should be unique once per client or auto generate not to send the same one twice.

  • How should customers redeem their gift vouchers? Do you have specific requirements or restrictions for the redemption process?

Customers redeem it from the website they are ordering from such as restaurant they show the email, or they can use the coupon code that they received on purchases on the website.

An advanced way is to be able to generate prepaid cards on stripe issuing so they can use it on regular checkout and instead of coupon code they will receive an expiration date and CV from stripe using API this is advanced and elfsight can charge additional fees as you can signup with stripe and they will generate visa prepaid to be used instead just coupons. So they can redeem it in the regular website checkout or any.

  • Should the gift vouchers have expiration dates?

No expiration date till its redeemed or a yearly expiration.
