Illustrative online gift purchase

Online gifting

An introduction they can send from anywhere.

  • From your page or a link

    Choose the card, recipient and message. Pay by card online and see the code on confirmation.

  • Your amounts, or their own

    Set values or a custom amount within your limits.

  • Sent by email

    Email the recipient—or the buyer when no recipient email is given. The buyer gets a receipt.

At your front desk

A lovely last-minute addition.

Illustrative sale and gift delivery

Add a gift card to the sale. After payment, email it to the recipient from the same screen—or send it yourself later.

Desk sale and delivery options
  • A custom-amount card takes any amount within the range you set on it
  • Each sold card is issued once even after a repeated payment confirmation or retry; a sale refunded before issuance gets no card
  • See a preview of the card with the recipient’s name filled in as you type
One card, October to December

Finding and updating a card

Type the card’s code and what’s left on it is right there, for team members who can’t manage gift cards too.

Illustrative balance lookup

  • Every card shows when it expires, or that it never expires
  • Managing cards needs permission to take payments for any client; anyone ringing up sales can check a code, and card design needs settings access
  • In the staff web app, Sales › Gift Cards lists the cards of the clients you can see, with code, owner, balance, status and whether each was sent
  • Send or resend its email, to the recipient on file or a new address
  • Change the recipient, the message or the expiry date; the code and balance stay as they are
  • See a client’s cards from their record and open any of them
  • Link a card that no client holds yet to a client

The rest of Gift cards.

Grouped by the moment you need it.

Set up what you sell
  • Create cards in Catalog with a fixed value or custom amount range, and choose the price the buyer pays
  • On each card, choose whether it never expires, expires after a set number of months or follows your business default
  • Use your own artwork for the card and choose where the names and the amount are written, with a preview before you save
  • Turn online sales on or off, choose the location they’re billed to and set the amounts offered online
  • Get a link to your gift card page once online sales are ready, and share it from the web settings or the iPhone app
Terms and expiry
  • Buyers see your terms, such as expiry, refunds and cash value, before they pay, and the receipt and the card email repeat them
  • A card keeps the terms and expiry it was sold with when you later change its catalog settings
  • The person a card was sent to gets an email about 30 days and 7 days before it expires, while it still has value
Refunds and corrections
  • Choose whether gift card sales can be refunded
  • Refund the sale of a card that hasn’t been used, and the card is voided so its value can’t be spent
  • For a card that has been partly spent, void it first; the refund then returns at most what was left on it
  • Refunding a sale paid with a card returns that amount to the same card once; when the card has since been voided, you can give store credit instead
  • Void a card with a reason, removing its remaining value; it stays in the list as Voided with its history
  • When a client disputes the card payment for a gift card, a manager sees it and decides what happens to the value left
  • A card’s recorded bonus value is held above what was paid; refunds return at most the paid value. Creating new gift-card bonus offers is not available yet
Online and in their account
  • Reload after paying and the same purchase finishes with the same card, without charging again
  • A buyer who can’t finish paying can have a one-use link emailed and finish the same purchase on another device
  • A client who holds the code of a usable card nobody owns yet can add it to their Client Account; a card sold at the desk stays with its buyer
Cards from before, and closing
  • Record a card you sold before, on paper or in another system, with its printed code, balance and expiry
  • Closing your EstheticSense account settles, refunds or exports the balances your clients still hold
On iPhone
  • Open Gift cards from More, search by code or client and open a card’s details
  • Sell a card through the iPhone checkout
  • The Gift cards screen shows an Unredeemed total for cards that can be spent now
