The Extensions page

One place to discover, install and check the status of every Gift Card Factory extension.

Open Extensions in the app navigation to see everything Gift Card Factory can add to your store, grouped by where it appears: Online Store, Checkout, Customer accounts, Shopify Admin, Point of Sale, extensions that run automatically, and Shopify Flow.

What each card tells you

Every extension is a card with a short description, a status badge and one primary action:

  • Add to theme opens the theme editor with the block already added — you only position it and click Save.

  • Open checkout editor, Open customer accounts editor and similar open the right Shopify editor; the extension's detail page lists the exact steps.

  • Details opens the detail page. Demo plays a short video of the extension in action.

If an extension needs something first — an active campaign, new customer accounts, the Shopify POS app — the card says so under Needs and links straight to it.

What the status badges mean

The page is honest about what it can and cannot know:

Badge
Meaning

Installed on Live theme / Not installed

Verified by reading the selected theme's template files. Use the theme selector on the Online Store group to check a draft theme.

Required · Not installed

A Gift Card Postman campaign is active but its block is missing from the selected theme.

Active · last seen …

The extension called the app recently, so it is in place and being used. Shopify does not report where checkout, customer-account, POS and admin extensions are placed, so this is inferred from use.

Not detected yet

The extension has not been used on your store yet. This does not mean it isn't installed.

Used N times

Counted from actions the app processed, for example refunds or Flow actions.

Available / Available in Flow

Ready to use; nothing to detect.

Enabled in Flow / In use by N campaigns

A Flow workflow or campaign is using this trigger.

Search and filters

Use the search field to find an extension by name, what it does or where it appears. Filter by Surface, Status or Needs a campaign. Any active filter flattens the groups into one list.

The detail page

Each extension has a detail page with:

  • Before you start — prerequisites with their current state and a direct link to fix each one.

  • What it does and, where available, a demo video.

  • How to add it — one-click for theme blocks, numbered steps for editors and POS, or a note when nothing needs to be placed.

  • Status — per-theme rows for theme blocks with Add / Manage links; a Verify button re-checks after you save in the theme editor.

  • Settings — the block's settings and their defaults. Values are edited in the Shopify editor, not in the app.

  • Translations — for blocks with customer-facing copy (reward banners), a tab to edit the text per language.

Plans

Extensions work on every plan and during the trial. If your trial has ended and no plan is active, the page shows a warning that extensions may stop working; nothing is switched off. Checkout blocks and the Gift Card Custom Amount function are Shopify Plus features and are only shown to Plus and development stores.
