Gift cards: general principles

Updated over 3 months ago

Whether you are an accommodation provider or a leisure professional, gift cards are an excellent way of increasing your turnover (see our blog article on this market): customers love to please their loved ones and share with them a positive experience they have already had with you.

With elloha, you can :

  • create your own gift cards,

  • sell them on your own website,

  • allow your customers to pay directly on your site with the gift card they have been offered: elloha checks that the card is valid and deducts its value from the final price the customer will have to pay online! (Only for Magic subscribers).

  • finally, if you work with retailers such as Wonderbox or Smartbox, you can import their gift card codes into your elloha account and allow your customers to book with you using the coupons generated by your retailers (only for Magic subscribers).

Note: it is no longer possible to charge tax on a gift card, as this item is considered to be a means of payment and not a service in the strict sense (such as a reservation).

It should also be noted that a gift card necessarily has the full Prepaid mode of payment when a virtual EPOS terminal is activated, whatever the subscription level.
