Digital Gift Cards are different to other products because our system creates special Gift Card Codes associated with each gift card purchased by a customer. 

An email is sent to the customer with the Gift Card Code and a Bar Code. 



An order confirmation email is sent to the restaurant owner/manager with the same Gift Card Code and $ amount.
