What Are Digital Gift Cards?

Fans can purchase Gift Cards through your Arryved Online Store that come with a unique Gift Card Number and PIN. Shoppers cans use their Digital Gift Card online or in-person. Use this guide to learn how to turn your Gift Cards digital in 2 easy steps! 

Prerequisites

1. To set up Digital Gift Cards, you must be an Arryved Portal Super Admin or an Admin with one of the following Permissions:

• ALL ACCESS

• FULL ADMIN

• INVENTORY + ONLINE ORDERING SETTINGS (need both)

If you don’t already use Arryved Online, make sure you complete these steps first:

1. Make sure your “Arryved Online Store” Location Preference is enabled. 

2. Create a new Venue for “Arryved Online”  and set the Type to “ONLINE.”

3. Create one Menu in this Venue. Name it “Gift Cards.”
   

Limitations

• Gift Cards (physical or digital) must have a PIN to use for purchases in your Arryved Online Store. However, using a Gift Card in Arryved Service (in-person) does not require a PIN. 

Setup Guide

Steps To Follow

1. Create a Gift Card Item

2. Add the Digital Gift Card Online Modality
   

Step 1: Create A Gift Card Item

In this step, you’ll create an Inventory Item for your Gift Cards and add it to one of your Arryved Online menus. You can use this same Gift Card Item to sell physical Gift Cards in-person and Digital Gift Cards online. 

You may already have a Gift Card Item for your physical Gift Cards. If so, you can use that one! Simply add it to any of your Arryved Online Menus, then move to step 2.

If you don’t  already have a Gift Card Item, create one now:

1. Create a new Inventory Item and name it “Gift Card.”

2. Create a “Gift Card” Tax Type (with a 0% rate) and Item Type if you don’t already have them. Apply them to the Gift Card Item. 

3. Add it to any of your Arryved Online Menus (it doesn’t matter which one, you’ll see why later). 
   

4. Make the Price of the Gift Card Unit Size $0.

5. Apply the GIFTCARD Item Tag.

Embed The Link

Do you sell Ecommerce through a website (not Arryved Online)? To sell your Digital Gift Cards there, create a button that’ll send shoppers to your Digital Gift Card Modality. Here’s how to grab the link: 

1. Go to your Online Store Settings (under Location Settings in your Arryved Portal). 

2. Click the Copy Link button at the top of the page.

3. Embed that link behind the button on your website! 

Replace Your Physical Gift Cards 

If you want to allow guests to make purchases in your Arryved Online Store with your physical Gift Cards, those Gift Cards must have a PIN. You may want to purchase new Gift Cards to sell in person if you have older ones without a PIN.
