Go to **Sales** → **Gift Cards** → **Issue Gift Card**. Enter the **Value** and **Paid by**, and if you like a recipient's name and email (the code is emailed to them), a message and an expiry date. It is recorded as a till sale. Issuing a gift card needs the **Record and change payments** permission (owners, admins and managers have it by default).

Using one: any staff member can press **Redeem** on the gift card, choose the customer and press **Redeem to store credit**. The value goes onto their account balance, which they can spend on a booking.

A gift card code can't be typed in at the till or at online checkout: redeem it to the balance first. Customers can check a card's balance online, but can't buy one online.
