Overview
As you configure your eGift Card enhancement, there are several steps necessary on the Magento side to create and send eGift Cards.
Creating the eGift Card Attribute
You will need to create an attribute called: gift_card. This attribute should be a simple Yes/No option for the catalog input type. The value does not need to be required for every product.
Please refer to this Help Center page about creating attributes and assigning them to your default attribute set before you move onto the next step.
Installing the Modern Retail eGift Card Enhancement
Once the eGift Card attribute is created, Modern Retail must install the eGift Card module. This is necessary in order to populate the correct product page type for your eGift Cards. Modern Retail will need:
- SSH access to your Magento backend
- Magento administrator access
- Your Magento version
- Any information on any Checkout enhancements that are separate from Magento's Default Checkout (ie. any customizations to checkout functionality, any 3rd part checkout modules, etc)
Please provide this information to either your Project Manager or Support Team Member.
Creating the eGift Card Product Page
After the eGift Card module has been installed, you will have access to the necessary product page template to create the eGift Card product page.
From the Magento backend Dashboard:
1. Click Catalog > Products
2. On the Add Product button, click the drop-down and select GiftCards Product
3. Toggle the Gift Card button to Yes
4. The Gift Card Product Display should be set to Enhanced
5. Under Customizable Options, you can add your Gift Card Denominations.
6. You will then see the Sender-Recipient fields that construct the eGift Card product page form. These fields cannot be edited or reorganized for any reason. If you have questions about them, contact your Project Manager or Support Team Member.
7. You can edit the eGift Card product like you would any other product: update the product name, assign it to a category, add images, etc. If you are requiring PINS for your eGift Cards, consider including that information in the product description.
This product is now ready to be sold as an eGift Card. When purchased, your shoppers will receive an email with their gift card code and PIN if applicable.
