Beta: Share eGift Cards with Your Customers

martina_a — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 18:40:48 GMT

Once you’ve set up your Square eGift Card order site, let your customers know about your new product offering.

Create a button to your website that says “Order Gift Cards”

Your website is the first place customers will go to see if you offer gift cards. Help them easily find what they’re looking for. Below are resources for adding buttons onto sites powered by some popular web-hosting services:

Promote on your Facebook or other social media sites

Send posts to announce your new eGift Cards on your social media accounts.

Send an email marketing campaign

Reach your customers where they spend the most of their time-- their inbox. You can send a free email marketing campaign about your new eGift Cards with Square Marketing.

Thanks @martina_a—how do we set up a Square eGift Card order site to begin with? It would be great if eCardSystems could directly drop-ship custom gift cards to customers, but I'm not sure if that's what this is.

Hi @aeronaut! This feature is currently in beta, but will be available to all Square sellers this spring. It will allow sellers to offer virtual gift cards, where your customers can purchase a gift card and have it emailed to the recipient. Stay tuned for an announcement!
