Gift Cards & Custom Promo Codes
Using Custom Promo Codes
What is the difference between Gift Card & Custom Promo Code?
Gift cards (digital only) are the standard gift card you would purchase on any site, like Amazon. Purchase a $10 gift card and you will get a unique random code to give to someone. They can then enter it at checkout for $10 off. Please note, this is a digital gift card and will not be delivered as a physical item
Custom Promo Codes give you a flexible and powerful way to create promotions for your store. Simply pre-load your balance and offer discounts that are fully customizable, trackable, and reusable.
GIFT CARD PROMO CODES vs. SMART PERCENTAGE PROMO CODES
Gift Card Promo Codes function like normal gift cards. You load $100 on the card and offer $5 off every order. You get all the benefits of a custom code, tracking, and limiting use.
How It Works:
Set a Gift Card Promo Code: welovevolunteers
Choose the number of uses to give it to (How many volunteers): 10
Set amount per use (how much can each volunteer use: $5
Share the code. This will limit use to $5 each time.
Smart Percentage Promo Codes function more like percentage discounts. Similar to getting 10% off coupons for a local store. Same benefits of a custom code, tracking, and limiting use. But you can set the discount to a % instead of a $ dollar amount.
How It Works:
Set a Promo Fund: Decide your total budget (e.g., $250).
Choose a Discount Percentage: Select the discount (e.g., 10%).
Share the Code: Members use the code to get the discount.
Track Usage: Each use deducts the discount amount from your fund.
FAQs
Q: Do I lose the money on the card not used?
A: No. If you don't use it, just ask for it to be transferred to a new card. We don't refund, but we also don't take it.
Q: How is usage tracked? Can one person use it more than once?
A: Usage is tracked via email. So one person could use multiple email addresses. However this kind of abuse is rare. You can also track who uses it to see if something like this is happening. We are happy to assist if you run into issues.
