FieldStack offers eGift cards which allows customers to send gift cards digitally via email to anyone with an email address.



Creating an eGift Card

FieldStack offers two types of electronic gift cards:

  • Set amount ($20, $40, $100, etc) - one item per amount
  • "Any Amount" - The customer can decide the gift card amount


All eGift Cards require the Extended Category of 'GIFT CERTIFICATE' (P10) and Additional Type of 'ALWAYS AVAILABLE' (IN3).



All eGift cards require the following attributes:

  • eGift Card Type
  • Electronically Delivered Item 
  • CustomerFillable



For the "Any Amount" egift cards, there are more attribute requrements on top of those above:

  • Customer Enters Price
  • Minimum Customer Entered Price
  • Maximum Customer Entered Price

After adding the desired value of the card, clicking the Customize button will allow the user to add the following information:

After automatic processing, eGift cards will be automatically fulfilled electronically and an email will be sent to the recipient.


Creating the Customer Notification

The template that notifies the recipient on their eGift Card can be found under Marketplaces > Customer Notifications > E-Gift Card Fulfilled.


eGift Card specific variables available for use in the template include:

  • [[GiftCard.BarcodeImageURL]]

  • [[GiftCard.ImageURL]]
  • [[GiftCard.Message]]
  • [[GiftCard.Number]]
  • [[GiftCard.RecipientEmail]]
  • [[GiftCard.SecurityCode]]

There is logic to handle if there is a gift card message or not:

  • [[if:GiftCard.Message_Exists]]
  • [[if:GiftCard.Not_Message_Exists]]
