Questions businesses ask
How does the customer get their gift card?
Any way they like: printed at your counter, texted to the recipient on the spot, emailed, or held as a link so the buyer can send it themselves at the perfect moment.
Can people buy gift cards from my website?
Yes. Your business gets its own branded gift page. Orders arrive with you; you collect the payment and activate the card with one press, and the recipient is notified the way the buyer chose.
How is a gift card redeemed?
Scan its QR code at the register. Partial redemptions and split payments work, balances carry over, and every card keeps a full history of loads and spends.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Gift cards are a free Zippoto feature - sell as many as you like, in store and online.
Do the cards expire?
That is your call: you set the validity period in your settings, and the register enforces it honestly at redemption.
