Gift cards: Online only or In-Store only

There are currently two types of gift cards available: Online only or In-store only. As the names suggest,  online-only gift cards cannot be used at your physical brewery/taproom. In-store only cannot be used on the online store and can only be used in your physical brewery/taproom. You will need to use your POS system (or another system) to create the gift cards and then mail a physical copy to your customer.
