By offering gift cards, you can boost sales because customers often end up spending more than what's on the card. Your business also gets the money right away without performing the service, which can be a big help. Plus, when people give your gift cards to friends or family, it introduces new people to the business, possibly making them regular customers too. Not only can you sell your gift cards in-house, but customers can purchase gift cards directly from your Vagaro Listing Page.
Important
Each customer is restricted from purchasing more than $1,500 (or the equivalent in local currency) in gift cards per day. This limit includes individual gift certificates or packages for smaller amounts that add up to more than $1,500 or a single one for more than $1,500. Restrictions are set by FinCen and our banking partners.
Note
If a customer purchases a gift certificate for a specific service, then the tax applied to that service will be included in the gift card's total price.
