The Redemption Email
Clean & Intuitive
The recipient experience starts with a beautifully designed email that eliminates every point of friction. No clunky codes to remember. No frustrating verification process. Just one clean link that takes care of everything.
What Makes It Different:
- No Codes Required: Recipients never have to copy, paste, or remember redemption codes
- Personal Touch: Buyer’s custom message displays prominently
- Clear Instructions: Simple, friendly guidance on how to use their gift
- Instant Access: Credit is ready to use immediately upon clicking
The Experience:
When recipients click the link, they’re taken directly to a personalized page showing their available credit. A banner at the top of the page displays their gift balance and follows them around the site—a constant reminder that their gift is ready and waiting.
At checkout, the system automatically applies their gift card credit. No action needed. If the purchase doesn’t use the full amount, the remaining balance is saved for their next visit using the same email link.
