What is it?
Most everyone has gotten a gift certificate at some point in their life, this simple gift now can be offered on your website. Works just like a regular gift certificate but with all the benefits of shopping online rather than at the mall. Guaranteed to increase sales and make new customers for you.
How it works
A customer purchases an electronic gift certificate from your online store, the amount they pay into the certificate is how much its total value is (Example: $50 paid = $50 gift certificate). The certificate is then sent via e-mail to the recipient the customer directed it to go to. The receivee of the certificate shops at your store and enters in the gift certificate information on the order form, the value of the certificate is then deducted from the total cost of the purchase.
Who needs this solution?
Any online establishment who wants to gain more sales and new customers. Allows people to pick and choose what they want, and helps to reduce returns that are common around the holidays.
