Gift Cards

BridalOp supports digital gift cards that can be created by staff, purchased online by customers, redeemed at the POS, and downloaded as printable certificates with barcodes.

Gift Card List

The Gift Cards page shows all gift cards with search, filtering, and a link to your public purchase page.

Customer Purchase Link

At the top of the page, your Customer Purchase Link is displayed with a Copy button. Share this link on social media, in emails, or on your website so customers can buy gift cards online.

A table of every transaction on the gift card:

• Download Certificate — generates a printable PDF (see below)
• Add Balance — reload additional funds onto the card
• Deactivate — disable the card (can be reactivated later)
• Back to Gift Cards — return to the list

Printable Certificate

Click Download Certificate to generate a PDF ready for printing or emailing.

The certificate includes:

• Your boutique's logo
• "Gift Card" heading
• Dollar amount
• Barcode (scannable CODE_128 format)
• Redemption code in a highlighted box
• Expiration info ("Valid through..." or "No expiration")
• From name (if a purchaser is set)
• Your boutique name

Redeeming in POS

During checkout at the POS, select Gift Card as the payment method.

1. Enter the gift card code in the Gift Card Code field (e.g., GC-XXXX-XXXX)
2. Click Look Up to verify the card
3. If valid, the card's balance and the amount to apply are displayed
4. Click Apply Gift Card to apply the balance toward the order

The system automatically applies up to the gift card's available balance or the order total — whichever is less. If the gift card doesn't cover the full amount, you can pay the remainder with another method (card, cash, etc.). When a gift card's balance reaches zero, its status changes to Depleted.

Public Gift Card Purchase Page

Customers can purchase gift cards online through your Customer Purchase Link.

The public page includes:

• Choose Amount — preset buttons (configured via Manage Presets) plus a custom amount field
• Your Information — purchaser's name and email (required)
• Recipient — check "This is for someone else" to enter a recipient name, email, and personal message
• Payment — processed securely via your connected payment gateway

After purchasing, the customer sees a confirmation page with the gift card code and can download the certificate immediately. An email is also sent to the recipient (or purchaser if buying for themselves).
