Key Features & Benefits
Flexible Gift Options
- Open & Activity Gift Cards: Offer two types of gift cards. Open Gift Cards act like cash and can be redeemed for any product or service. Activity Gift Cards are tied to a specific tour or experience. Customers can pick preset amounts or enter a custom value, and operators can configure expiry dates to meet local regulations.
- Customizable Amounts & Messages: Guests choose from preset values (e.g., CA$50, CA$75, etc.) or enter a custom amount, add recipient details and a personalized message, then purchase with one click. It’s perfect for last‑minute gifting and makes checkout seamless.
- Digital or Printable Certificates: Gift cards can be emailed instantly with a redemption code and personalised message, or printed for those who prefer a physical gift.
