Important:
Gift cards are currently available for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, Wix Restaurants Orders (New), and Wix Events.
Increase sales and boost your brand by selling digital gift cards. They're a great way to get new customers and keep existing customers coming back again and again. If you sell any e-commerce products, you can add gift cards as an additional purchasing option.
Start by setting up your Wix Gift Cards in the dashboard - add the name, amounts, expiration policy, and customize the recipient email. Then, go to your editor to design the gift card page so it matches your site’s style. When you're ready, publish your site to let customers start buying gift cards.
Before you begin:
- Make sure to set your site currency before selling any gift cards. Switching currencies will prevent recipients with cards purchased in the old currency from redeeming them.
- Gift card use is subject to local laws. Be sure to follow local regulations.
Step 1 | Add Wix Gift Cards
To get started, add the Wix Gift Cards app to your site from the Wix App Market. Some Wix apps (e.g. Wix Stores, Wix Bookings) automatically add the Gift Cards tab to your dashboard under the Catalog tab – in this case, you just need to activate the app.

Step 3 | Customize the email sent to gift card recipients
When a customer purchases and sends a gift card, the recipient receives an email letting them know about it. This email includes important information such as their unique gift card code, amount, and expiration date.
You can customize the look of this email to align with your brand and site's design. Learn how to customize the email template.
Step 4 | Customize your site's gift card page
Now head over to your editor to set up the gift card page. The gift card page is where customers can purchase gift cards.
You can customize the design of the page, such as font and colors, and also choose which functions to enable for customers, like adding a delivery date or direct purchase option. Learn how to customize the gift card page.
Step 5 | Publish your site
When you're ready to start selling gift cards, publish your site so customers can access the gift card page.
Important:
The option to enter a gift card code at checkout is automatically enabled. If you decide in the future to stop selling gift cards, do not disable the Gift cards toggle in your Checkout Settings. This action will prevent gift card holders from redeeming their cards and may be illegal in some regions.
