When your customers purchase a eGift Card, they will be asked to enter their contact details, they can customize a message to the person they want to give it to and they can also choose to have the eGift Card sent directly to the person of their choice or just have it sent to their own email.

After a purchase, the purchaser as well as the company will get confirmation emails. If the purchaser selected to have their guest sent an email, they will also receive a confirmation email.

To track your eGift Card purchases, you can see a list of all orders in the orders tab on the eGift Card page. You can filter by eGift Card type, date or payment method. All orders can also be downloaded to a CSV to make for easy accounting.

eGift Cards can be redeemed on any of your booking pages by using the redemption number located on the eGift Card PDF or in the confirmation email.

You can also redeem eGift Cards on the backend of the dashboard when adding bookings. Simply click the eGift Card button when adding a booking and you can search by name or redemption number to locate the eGift Card you want to apply.

To add your eGift Cards to your website for your customers to book, head over the Get Code section on the left hand navigation and then select the eGift Card Tab. Just like integrating any other plugin, there will be options for the website CMS you have and step by step instructions to get it live.

​

ABL takes its normal booking fee on a eGift Card sale. This fee is not included in the value of the card that can be redeemed. When a client redeems their eGift Card through your plugins, the normal service fee is removed so that the customer doesn't pay the service fee twice. Essentially, everything is the same as a normal tour booking, the service fee is paid once and the value paid for an eGift Card is the same as the corresponding event.
