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.
You can create a gift card for any pass, but there can only be one.
Need to make an archived gift card active again? You might find that some of these correspond to archived passes, visit https://app.punchpass.com/passtypes/archived and you can edit and enable them, to make them available for purchase again!
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.

3. 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.
