Adding or updating gift card products

You can add a new gift card product, and view, organize, and edit created gift cards from the Gift cards page in your Shopify admin. You can manage existing gift card products from the Products page in your Shopify admin. Learn more about managing gift cards.

Gift card product denominations

Gift card products have values called denominations. Gift card product denominations can be set to any amount greater than zero up to a maximum of $10,000 USD (or equivalent in your local currency).

Denominations can't be set to an empty value, and customers can't input a custom amount for a gift card from your online storefront. If a customer wants to buy a gift card online for an amount that isn't for sale on your online store, then you can instead create a draft order for the amount. After the customer pays, you can then create a gift card with that custom amount, and then send it to the customer.

When you first create a gift card product, there are several default denominations created for a gift card product in the currency of your store. You can replace the default denominations amounts in the denominations with any valid custom amount. To change the number of available denominations, you can click Add denomination to add an additional denomination, or click the trash can icon to delete a denomination. A gift card product must have at least one denomination.

Add a new gift card product

After you create a gift card product, it's added to the Products section of your Shopify admin. Gift cards are digital products, and share product details with non-gift card products.

Steps:

From your Shopify admin, go to Products > Gift cards.
Click Add a gift card product.
Enter the gift card product information into the following fields:
- Title - Enter a name for this gift card product. For example: Birthday gift card.
- Description - Enter a description of this gift card as you want it to display on your store.
- Media - Upload product media, such as an image. Product media is displayed on the product page of your online store.
- Search engine listing preview - This is a preview of how your gift card product might be displayed in search engine results.
- Sales channels and apps - View and change the availability settings to publish the gift card and sell it through your sales channels. You can click the calendar icon beside Online store to set a specific publishing date.
- Organization - You can add optional information about the product type and vendor, add the gift card product to existing manual collections, and add tags.
Optional: Make any adjustments to the number of gift card denominations and their amounts.
When you're done, click Save gift card product to create a new gift card product.

After your gift card is saved, you are redirected to the gift card product details page. You can add any additional product details, or make changes to the gift card product.
