However, the physical Shopify Gift Cards similar to those found on Amazon, Google Play, or any other online store gift card cannot currently be used.<\/p>\n<p>Using gift cards is one of the best ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/how-to-increase-sales-on-shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase sales on Shopify<\/a>. Here are some compelling reasons why offering gift cards is a wise investment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Expand your customer base: Gift cards act as mini advertisements for your business, extending your reach to new potential customers who may have yet to discover your store. When recipients redeem gift cards, they can explore your products, become loyal customers, and spread the word about their positive experiences.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Boost sales and revenue: Gift cards have been proven to drive incremental business sales and revenue. When customers order Gift Cards, they are essentially pre-paying for products or services, ensuring future purchases in your store. Additionally, recipients of gift cards often spend more than the card's value, leading to higher average order values and increased profitability.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enhance customer loyalty: By offering Gift Cards, you provide a valuable incentive for customers to return to your store. Gift card recipients often become repeat customers. This fosters long-term customer relationships, increases customer retention, and generates positive word-of-mouth referrals.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Drive brand awareness and visibility: Your brand is showcased each time customers use Gift Cards. This reinforces brand awareness and serves as free advertising when customers share their gift card experiences with others. As a result, your store gains valuable exposure, attracting potential customers and building a solid brand presence in the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Do Shopify Gift Cards Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we've learnt what a gift card is, let's see how it works in your Shopify store.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89019\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work.webp\" alt=\"How do Shopify gift cards work\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work.webp 1920w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-do-shopify-gift-cards-work-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Shopify gift cards work as prepaid balances that customers can apply at checkout. When a customer buys a gift card, Shopify generates a unique code and sends it by email to the recipient.\u00a0Next, the customer enters the gift card code during checkout to pay for an order. Shopify then deducts the used amount and keeps the remaining balance available for future purchases.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Shopify tracks every gift card inside the admin dashboard. This system allows store owners to monitor sales, redemptions, and active balances without manual calculations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table3\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Add Shopify Gift Cards In Five Steps?<\/h2>\n<p>Follow these five steps to generate Gift Cards for your Shopify store.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Log in to Shopify store<\/h3>\n<p>First, log in to your Shopify account, and access your Shopify store Admin Dashboard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62793\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62793\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-62793\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Shopify-Login-Dashboard-2-750x835.webp\" alt=\"Shopify Login Dashboard\" width=\"750\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Shopify-Login-Dashboard-2-750x835.webp 750w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Shopify-Login-Dashboard-2-270x300.webp 270w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Shopify-Login-Dashboard-2-768x855.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Shopify-Login-Dashboard-2.webp 778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shopify Login Dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 2: Add Shopify gift card product<\/h3>\n<p>#1 From the left-side menu, click on &#8220;Products&#8221;&gt; &#8220;Gift cards&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62794\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62794\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62794\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Go-to-Gift-Cards-section-from-Shopify-Admin-dashboard.webp\" alt=\"Gift Cards section from the Shopify Admin dashboard\" width=\"750\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Go-to-Gift-Cards-section-from-Shopify-Admin-dashboard.webp 602w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Go-to-Gift-Cards-section-from-Shopify-Admin-dashboard-300x278.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go to the Gift Cards section from the Shopify Admin dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#2 Next, you can choose whether the customers can buy Gift Cards as a product or directly get gift card codes.

Shopify also lets you issue gift cards manually from the admin when you need store credit for a customer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I redeem a Shopify gift card?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A customer redeems a Shopify gift card by entering the gift card code at checkout. Shopify applies the balance automatically, and Shopify keeps any remaining balance available for the next purchase.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Where can I spend my Shopify gift card?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A customer can spend a Shopify gift card only in the store that issued the gift card. This rule means a customer cannot use the same code across other Shopify stores.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use a Shopify gift card on Amazon?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A customer cannot use a Shopify gift card on Amazon.
