How Do Customers Redeem Gift Cards?

Customers redeem their gift card during checkout using a unique code which they received via email after the gift card was purchased or sent to them. If they do not use the full balance of the card in a single purchase, they can use the remainder later with the same unique code.

Alternatively, you can send a customer a gift card code via email from Products > Gift Cards > Add Gift Card.
