GIFT CERTIFICATES PAPER COPY TO CUSTOMERS

For paper gift certificates, you'll need to create them yourself since Shopify's digital gift cards won't work for this. You could design a simple certificate using a tool like Canva or Microsoft Word. Include the gift amount, a unique code, and your store info.

When the bank buys them, manually create discount codes in Shopify that match the certificates. Keep track of these codes so you can mark them as used when redeemed. It's a bit of manual work, but it'll get the job done for your local customer.

isn't theme-specific - it'll work with any Shopify theme, including Ecomify. The process of creating manual gift certificates and matching discount codes is a workaround that's independent of your theme.

First, design your paper gift certificates in Canva or Word. Include your store logo, gift amount, and a unique code for each. Next, go to your Shopify admin. Click "Discounts" then "Create discount". Choose "Fixed amount" and enter the gift amount. Set it as a one-time use code matching the certificate. Repeat for each certificate. When selling, note which codes you've given out. When a customer uses a code, it'll automatically be marked as used in Shopify. For tracking, create a spreadsheet with certificate codes, amounts, and status (sold/used). This works for any Shopify theme, including Ecomify. It's all done in the admin area, so your theme doesn't matter. It's a bit of work, but it'll get those paper certificates out to your local customer!
