Create a Gift Card

Manage gift cards in products - gift cards. Here you see the gift cards added to the platform.

Gift cards can be managed by platform owners.


Display gift cards on the platform


Option 1

Display your gift card together with your existing subscriptions and packages by adding it to the same product display group.

Option 2

Display the gift card in a separate product display group, for example if you would like to have it on another page of the platform. Create a new product display group (product - product display group) and add the gift card to that new product display group.

In the CMS, your products are displayed in the component "product display".

For example: "Give away unlimited access to all content and upcoming live broadcasts for 3 months! The recipient will have access for 3 months after activation of the Christmas card." If the gift card is connected to a subscription you could specify that the recipient is signing up to the subscription.
