Add a gift card page to this site for [YOUR BUSINESS].

Offer [YOUR AMOUNTS, e.g. fixed values of 25, 50 and 100, or any amount between a minimum and maximum I set]. [IF I SELL SERVICE CARDS INSTEAD: offer these specific services as gift cards: YOUR SERVICES.]

Let the buyer say who it is for, add a short personal message, and choose whether it goes to the recipient directly or back to the buyer to hand over themselves.

Show my terms on the page itself, above the buy button, not behind a link and not after payment: [YOUR TERMS — what it can be spent on, whether the balance can be used over several visits, expiry if any, transferability, refundability, what happens if it is lost]. Make the buyer confirm they have read them before paying.

Do not invent any term, expiry period or condition. Use exactly what I give you, and if something is missing, ask me rather than filling the gap.

Say plainly how and when the code arrives, because someone buying this at eleven at night for tomorrow needs to know before they pay.

Do not build payment, codes or redemption yet.

Add payment to the gift card page.

Send the buyer to [YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDER]'s own secure hosted page to pay. Never collect, display or store card numbers on my site, in my database or in any email — not the full number, not a partial one.

When a payment succeeds, create a gift card record holding: the amount, the currency, the buyer's details, the recipient's details and message, the purchase date, and the terms exactly as they were shown at the time of purchase. Those stored terms must never change afterwards, even if I change my terms later.

Create the card only when the payment is actually confirmed by the provider, not when the buyer returns to my site. If a payment fails or is abandoned, no card exists.

Email the buyer a receipt with what they bought, for whom, and when the code will arrive.

Tell me exactly what I need to set up with the provider, and what to change when I go from test to live.

Do not generate the code or deliver anything yet.

Add code generation and delivery to my gift cards.

Generate a unique code for each card that cannot be guessed or worked out from another code — random, not sequential, and not derived from the date or the amount. Format it so a human can read it aloud over the phone without confusion: avoid characters that look alike.

Deliver it the way the buyer chose: straight to the recipient, or back to the buyer to pass on themselves.

Let the buyer choose a delivery date, so a card bought today can arrive on a birthday. Show clearly when it will be sent, and let me see and cancel anything scheduled.

The delivery should look like a gift and not an invoice: the amount or service, who it is from, their personal message, the code, my business name, and how to use it. Keep my terms and any expiry date on it too.

Give the recipient a version they can print or save, and let the same card be resent to either party if it is lost.

Send it through a proper email delivery service so it reliably arrives, and tell me what to set up.

Never put any payment information in the delivery.

Add redemption to my gift cards.

Give me a private redemption screen where I enter or scan a code and immediately see: whether it is valid, its remaining balance, when it was bought, its terms, whether it has expired, and its full redemption history.

Redeeming reduces the balance. [IF I ALLOW PARTIAL USE: let a card be used across several visits until the balance reaches zero. OTHERWISE: a card is used once in full and closed.]

A card must never be redeemable twice for the same value. Make sure two people redeeming the same code at the same moment cannot both succeed, and that the balance can never go below zero.

Show me clearly when a code is invalid, already fully used, or expired — and say which of those it is, because "invalid" tells the person in front of me nothing.

Let me reverse a redemption I made by mistake, and record that reversal in the history rather than erasing it.

Let the holder check their own balance from the card's link without being able to change anything.

Only I and [MY STAFF, IF ANY] can reach the redemption screen. Protect it properly rather than hiding the address.

Keep everything from the previous steps working exactly as it is.

Add a private gift card summary to my owner screen.

Show me the number that matters most: the total value of cards sold and not yet redeemed. That is money I have taken for service I have not yet given, and I want it visible rather than calculated once a year.

List every card with its code, amount, remaining balance, buyer, recipient, purchase date, expiry, and status — unsent, delivered, partly used, fully used, expired.

Let me filter and search by code, buyer or recipient, because someone will call having lost everything but a first name.

Show me by month: cards sold, value sold, value redeemed, and the outstanding total over time.

Flag cards approaching expiry so I can decide whether to remind the holder — which is usually both the decent thing and the thing that brings them in.

Let me issue a card manually without payment, for a complaint or a promotion, recording why.

Let me export everything, including redemption history.

Keep everything from the previous steps working exactly as it is.
