In Punchpass, you can create and sell gift cards for any pass you sell online! They're a wonderful compliment to creating discount codes for your passes, ticketed classes, and membership subscriptions.

Gift cards allow the purchaser to prepay for a pass and then receive a unique discount code to print out or send digitally to someone else. Gift cards are a great way to promote shopping local and supporting small businesses around the holidays and Black Friday!

A few things to keep in mind:

  • A gift card covers the whole cost of a pass.

  • Recipients can use gift cards to purchase only that specific pass. Gift passes can't be redeemed for memberships or donation-based passes at this time.

  • Gift cards are redeemed by applying the unique discount code at checkout.

Who can use this feature?
Gift cards and family accounts are supported with Banyan and Redwood Punchpass plans.

To create a gift card, this feature requires using our Stripe integration.



Preparing to Sell Gift Cards


Navigate to Manage > Passes and take a look at your pass list.

Before you can create a gift card, you'll need to:

  • Create or have a pass that will correspond to the gift card offer,

  • In the Online Sales Settings: make sure this pass is set for sale online.

In this example, we have a 10 Visit Pass that's available to sell online using Stripe. We'll create a gift card for this pass.


How to Create a New Gift Card

From Manage > Passes, click the + New Gift Card button.

Select the pass you want to make available for purchase by gift card:

Customize the details for the gift card! You can edit the gift card name and description, and if you're using our Family Accounts feature, you can select an audience. Press Save.

Now the gift card is available for purchase from your Purchase a Pass page!

Pro tip: Want to link directly to your gift cards from your website or social media?

Each one you offer will have a unique link - you can find it by going to your public pass page and clicking on the gift card, then just grab the direct URL from the address bar in your web browser.
