Gift Cards
Sell digital gift cards online. Customers can purchase cards for themselves or others, and recipients can redeem them at checkout.
How It Works
Customer Purchases
Customers visit your booking page and select Gift Cards. They choose an amount, add an optional message, and enter the recipient's email.
Payment & Delivery
After payment, Bizily sends a beautifully designed email to the recipient with the gift card code. The purchaser also receives a confirmation.
Recipient Redeems
When booking, the recipient enters their gift card code at checkout. The balance is automatically applied to their purchase.
Features
Automatic Delivery
Gift cards are emailed immediately after purchase. Schedule delivery for a future date for birthdays or holidays.
Flexible Amounts
Set preset amounts ($25, $50, $100) or let customers choose custom values within your defined range.
Optional Expiration
Set expiration dates or keep cards valid indefinitely. Expired balances never actually go away - they're just flagged.
Personal Messages
Customers can add a personal message that's included in the delivery email to make gifts more meaningful.

Manual Adjustments

Pro Tips
- Promote during holidays: Gift card sales spike around holidays. Add a banner to your booking page before major gift-giving occasions.
- Offer a bonus: Run promotions like "Buy a $100 gift card, get $10 free" to incentivize larger purchases.
- Share on social: Post about gift cards on your social media, especially when customers are looking for last-minute gifts.
