What is a gift certificate type?

Multiple gift cards can belong to a single gift card type. A gift card type is often used to represent a special promotion or a series of gift cards. It defines specific properties of a gift card, such as the format of the gift card code. Before gift cards can be created, a gift card type must first be set up.

Once a gift card type has been configured, it becomes possible to create one or more gift cards. This process generates specific codes that can be distributed to customers and used when making a reservation.
