    Default Printing or sending gift certificates

    Is it possible to print out gift certificates if customers ask for that method? I will still be emailing them for those customers who want them through email.

    Default Re: Printing or sending gift certificates

    Electronic "gift certificates" are not really "products" in an eCommerce store.

    They are more a form of "store credit" that can be passed from person to person.

    When they are "redeemed" they actually become a payment method... so in effect, an electronic GC is just a form of negotiable cash (that can only be spent in your store).

    Physical Gift Certificates should be set up SEPARATELY from your electronic gift certificates, and they will need to be manually managed (as would any other physical product).

    I trust you have paper (or card) GC's that are not easy to tamper with? Bear in mind that a GC (physical or electronic) is as "good as cash". Physical GC's need to be made as "forge-proof" as possible.
