The toggles on the New Gift Card page
The Is Customer toggle
Switching this one to Yes allows users to use the field Holder Email only to look for email addresses registered inside the instance.
The Is Batch Card toggle
Switching this one to Yes, allows users to send a batch of gift cards to several customers' email addresses, from the instance’s database or external ones
By typing the email address in the field Holder Email
Click on the Add button, the user will be able to send the gift card to a group of customers all at once
The Is Card Test toggle
Switching this one to Yes allows users to create a Test Gift Card to be used in a Test Order within the system.
This switch is for test purposes only, and so the Gift Card issued with it can only be used in a test order.
It is not possible to use a test gift card to pay a real order in production, partially or in total.
Likewise, it is not possible to use a real gift card to pay a test order, partially or in total.
Combining toggles
In the Create New page, it is also possible to combine the switches in order to get different results when they are chosen separately, as we could verify above, on this tutorial page.
By combining the Is Customer and the Is Batch Card switches, users will be able to send several gift cards at once, however, using only the customers already registered at the instance’s database
By combining the Is Customer and the Is Card Test switches, users will only be able to create test gift cards and use only the customers already registered in the instance’s database
By combining the Is Batch Card and the Is Card Test switches, users will be able to send several test gift cards at once, be it for customers already registered at the instance’s database or to external ones
By combining all 3 options, users will be able to send several test gift cards at once, to customers already registered in the instance’s database.
