To sell and redeem a gift card, follow the steps below when using a computer or the Desktop Version. 

To reuse old gift cards, send an Excel spreadsheet with the numbers you'd like to use to support@vagaro.com. Once we receive the spreadsheet, we will send a request to our development team to input the numbers manually so that you can use the old gift cards again.
