Create a Gift Certificate

Create an individual gift certificate in Business Manager and set its value and status. Because you can't stage gift certificates, create and manage them in your Production environment. After a certificate is created, its value is fixed and can only be redeemed.

Whether a gift certificate is redeemable depends on its status and whether it's enabled. After you create a gift certificate, its value can’t be edited. It can only be redeemed.

Status Description Enabled=True Enabled=False
Pending An existing, unredeemable gift certificate Not redeemable Not redeemable
Issued An existing, unused gift certificate Redeemable Not redeemable
Partially Redeemed A gift certificate with part of the balance redeemed Redeemable Not redeemable
Redeemed A gift certificate with no remaining balance Not redeemable Not redeemable
