Sell and redeem gift cards

Gift cards let your biggest fans share your classes with the people they love. Someone buys a gift card, shares the code, and the recipient redeems it at checkout like a coupon. Any unused balance rolls over automatically, so nothing is ever wasted. It's one of the easiest ways to bring brand-new people into your studio.

Sell a gift card

  1. 1Open Marketing from your dashboard and choose Gift cards.
  2. 2Click Create gift card and set the value (a fixed amount or let the buyer choose).
  3. 3Add an optional expiration date, then save. The gift card is immediately available for purchase on your public page.
  4. 4Buyers receive a unique code by email that they can forward or print for the recipient.

How recipients redeem a gift card

  1. 1At checkout, the attendee enters their gift card code in the Gift card field.
  2. 2If the card covers the full amount, the booking completes with no further payment.
  3. 3If the card only covers part of the total, the attendee pays the remainder with a card. The remaining gift card balance is saved automatically for next time.

How balances and partial payments work

  • A gift card can be used across multiple bookings until the balance runs out.
  • If a class costs more than the remaining balance, the attendee pays the difference with a credit or debit card.
  • If a booking paid with a gift card is refunded, the value is restored to the original gift card — not returned as cash.
  • Gift cards are tied to your account. They can only be redeemed for your classes, not any other instructor's.

Smart ways to use gift cards

  • Promote gift cards in the weeks before holidays — they make great last-minute presents.
  • Offer a gift card as a prize in a social media giveaway to grow your following and fill future classes.
  • Use gift cards as goodwill gestures for attendees whose class was cancelled or who had a poor experience.
