Import and Export Gift Card Products in Tagrain

Introduction

Gift Cards products are vouchers that can be exchanged for a specified cash value of goods or services from a particular business. The holder of the card is entitled to receive goods or services, equivalent to the currency value specified on the card, from the issuer, unless specified otherwise. Tagrain Gift Cards can also be used as store credit.
There are a few important points that you need to keep in mind regarding Gift Cards.
  1. All Gift Cards are associated with a Product Group for their easy grouping and management.
  1. You can define more than one Gift Card. For example, you can define three types of Gift Cards: Silver Gift Cards, Gold Gift Cards, Platinum Gift Cards, etc.

  1. Gift Cards can be sold to both, a registered customer as well as a cash customer.
  1. Anyone having the Gift Card can redeem or recharge a Gift Card.
