Setup

Setting up a Gift Card Postman campaign is easy and involves the following steps. All steps can be completed from campaign configuration screen, so first navigate to Campaigns -> New Campaign -> Gift Card Postman.

1. Add App Block to Product Page

   • The app checks if the block is installed in your theme. If not, select your theme and click Add.

     
   • You'll be redirected to the Product Page Customizer with the App Block added. Move it above the Buy Buttons.

     
   • Use Verify button to check if app block was successfully added

2. Create App Gift Card Product

   • Mimic your current Gift Card Product and add fields for scheduling and friend-sending.

   • Select your Store Gift Card Product and click Create App Product. Find your current Gift Card Product, select it and click Add button:

     
   • Initially, the product is in Draft. You will set set it to Active when campaign setup is ready.

3. Configure Campaign Settings

   • Adjust settings:

     • Set Expiry Dates: Specify expiration dates for purchased gift cards.

     • Value Matching: Align the gift card value with the amount paid, ideal for situations where a discount code is used.

     • Custom Gift Card Value: Let customers enter their own gift card amount on the product page. See Custom Gift Card Value below.

     • Assign to Customer: Assign the gift card to the purchasing customer.

     • Assign to Recipient: Directly assign the gift card to the intended recipient.

     • Fulfillment Options: Determine when to update the fulfillment status of the purchased items.

     • Order Tags: Optionally add tags to gift card orders for easy tracking.

     • Delivery Methods: Choose how gift cards will be delivered to recipients. Learn more about delivery options here.

   • When done, click Create button to create your new Gift Card Postman campaign

4. Activate Campaign

   • Activate the campaign and change the App Gift Card product status from Draft to Active.

     
   • Your product page will now show additional scheduling and sending fields.

     

Custom Gift Card Value

By default customers pick from the fixed denominations on your gift card product. Enable custom gift card value to also let them enter their own amount.

When you turn on Enable custom gift card value in the campaign settings:

• You'll be asked to grant a one-time permission so the app can set the cart price. This uses Shopify's Cart Transform (replacing the deprecated Shopify Scripts) and needs no manual code or setup.

• The app adds a Custom denomination to your app gift card product.

• On the product page, when the buyer selects the Custom denomination, a Gift Card Value field appears. The amount they enter sets both the cart price and the value of the issued gift card, so the two always match.

• Custom amounts are capped by your plan's gift card issue limit.
