Gift Card Settings

Found in: Giftnote App > Settings > Gift Cards

These options control how gift cards behave when issued through Giftnote.


1. Attach recipient to gift cards in Shopify

  • When enabled, Giftnote creates a customer profile for the gift recipient in Shopify.
  • Useful for identifying recipients, tracking redemptions, and enabling future marketing.

✅ Recommended for brands that want to build recipient profiles.


2. Allow discounts

Controls how Giftnote calculates the value of a gift card when a discount is applied at checkout.

  • Disabled (default)→ Giftnote issues a gift card for the amount paid at checkout.(e.g. Customer applies 10% discount to $100 card = $90 card issued)
  • Enabled→ Giftnote issues a gift card for the product’s full price, ignoring the discount.(e.g. 10% discount applied to $100 card = $100 card issued)

⚠️ Tip: Enable only if you're comfortable issuing gift cards at full value even when discounted.


3. Default expiry

  • Set the validity period for all gift cards in months.
  • Use 0 for no expiry.

📌 Check local legal requirements around gift card expiry dates.


4. Max code length

  • Set the number of characters in each gift card code (between 12–16 characters).
  • Longer codes = better security.

5. Automatically fulfill gift cards

  • When enabled, Giftnote will auto-fulfill gift card orders in Shopify.
  • Saves time by skipping manual fulfillment steps.
