Setting up digital gift cards in Shopify

You can sell Leat digital gift cards in your Shopify store through the Leat app. You design the email the recipient gets in Leat, and set up the gift card product in the Leat app in Shopify.

Design the gift card recipient email

When someone buys a gift card, the recipient gets your gift card recipient email with the card's details. You design that email in Leat:

1. Click the gear icon at the top right of the dashboard to open Settings, then click Giftcards under Functionalities.
2. Under Giftcard recipient emails, click View details on the email and then Edit email.

This isn't the Settings item in the sidebar of Store → Giftcards, which holds a program's own settings, such as its name and expiry, and no emails. See How to create gift card recipient emails.

To show the buyer's personal message in the email, use the merge tag #{{custom.message}}. Shopify gift cards don't use #{{internal_order.message}}.

Choose your gift card settings in the Leat app

1. In Shopify, open the Leat app.
2. Go to Settings → Gift Cards.
3. Choose your gift card settings and save.

Physical gift cards that aren't Reusable in Leat aren't synchronised to Shopify.

Create the gift card product

1. In Shopify, open the Leat app and go to Gift Cards.
2. At the top right, click View Gift Card Products, then Create Gift Card Product.
3. Set up the product:
   • the gift card program it belongs to (usually you only have 1)
   • the title, description and image buyers see in your store
   • a variant for each value you want to sell, such as 50, 75 and 100

Once you've created it, the gift card product is listed under Products in Shopify like any other product. Add it to your store and start selling.
