According to recent data from the National Retail Federation (NRF), sales of gift certificates and cards have experienced tremendous growth over the last few years. If you’re not already offering gift certificates from your web storefront, you are missing out on one the most lucrative and fastest growing opportunities on the web today.
Since there is no up front inventory required, gift certificates can provide an effective mechanism for revenue generation, enabling the merchant to make a sale even when items are out of stock. And since there a two “customers” involved in every transaction, offering a gift certificate solution from your site can help to generate awareness about your store.
Available as an add-on to GoECart, the Gift Certificates Module will rapidly enable your site with gift certificate features currently offered by even the most famous e-commerce sites.
How It Works:
Like other features of GoECart, the Gift Certificate Module is managed via the familiar web-based administration panel. Merchants can set multiple options to accept payment for gift certificates, the issue and tracking of gift certificates is completely automated, and the system generates a report to help track sales and redemption.
For customers, buying and redeeming gift certificates is also easy and familiar. During checkout, shoppers get to personalize a paper or an electronic gift certificate with a custom message, and the gift certificate is then sent to a recipient by email or postal mail, at the customer’s option. Redemption is also fully automated at checkout.
