8 guidesGetting started with Giftora: set up digital gift cards in 5 steps
Set up Giftora on your Shopify store: create your gift card product, add the gift form to your theme, block gift cards as payment, set up the gift email and place a test order.
Create your gift card product and values
Create a Giftora gift card product with fixed values, keep shipping and tax off, add product images and make it available on your Online Store.
Add the gift card form to your theme
Turn on the Giftora app embeds in your Shopify theme, choose how the gift form looks on your product page and match it to your store colors.
Block gift cards as payment for gift cards
Turn on Giftora's payment blocking so customers can't use a gift card to buy another gift card at checkout.
Set up the gift card delivery email
Customize the email Giftora sends to gift card recipients: choose a template, add your logo and colors, write your message and send yourself a test.
Send gift emails from your own domain
Verify your domain in Giftora with DNS records so gift card emails come from an address like giftcards@your-store.com.
Place a test gift card order
Buy your Giftora gift card once to check the gift form, the gift card issue and the delivery email before your customers do.
Choose when gift emails are sent and when cards expire
Set when Giftora emails the gift card to the recipient, after payment or after fulfillment, and whether gift cards expire.
