Chapter 03 · How to issue a card

One form, one minute

In the app → Gift cards+ New. Fill in the form — the card preview updates as you type.

What to fill in

  • AmountThe face value of the certificate.
  • Recipient's nameAppears on the card.
  • Phone and/or emailAt least one is required — the link goes there.
  • SenderDefaults to your business name.
  • GreetingUp to 500 characters, optional.
  • ThemeOne of six designs.

What you can set

  • Hide the amountThe recipient sees only the greeting; the value is revealed to the cashier.
  • Partial redemptionOn by default. Lets customers spend in parts.
  • ExpiryShop default, or a specific date up to 10 years out.

After you tap «Issue»:

  1. A public certificate page with a QR code is generated.
  2. A nicely formatted email with the link goes to the recipient.
  3. If no email is set and your account has SMS credit — an SMS is sent as a fallback.
Chapter 04 · Redeeming at the counter

Scanner is already in the app

In the app → Gift cards → QR scanner. Scan the code either from the customer's phone screen or from a printed page — the app finds the card and opens its detail view.

  1. Certificate detail screen. Amount, remaining balance, status, recipient and sender names, expiry date and full redemption history — all on one screen.
  2. The «Redeem» button. Opens a sheet with quick-amount buttons Full amount and Half.
  3. Full redemption. You redeem the whole face value — the card closes with status «Redeemed».
  4. Partial redemption. If the option was enabled at issue time — spend part of it, the remainder stays on the card for the customer's next visit.

On the same screen — Block (if the card is lost), Resend by email, Share link.

Chapter 05 · Nearby — card pops up by itself

Geo-trigger in Apple Wallet

If the shop has an address configured, the certificate in Apple Wallet gets a geo-trigger. When the recipient walks past your venue with the saved card, iPhone surfaces it on the lock-screen automatically — they remember the certificate not sitting at home, but standing right in front of your sign.

Chapter 06 · List and reports

All cards on one screen

The «Gift cards» section shows every card you've ever issued. Filter by status:

All Active Redeemed Expired Blocked

Search by name, phone, email or certificate ID. Every card shows amount, remaining balance, recipient, expiry date and operation history.

Chapter 08 · FAQ

Frequently asked

01What's the commission?+

SBS commission for issuing and redeeming gift cards — 0%. You only pay for your subscription plan.

02Is there a printable PDF?+

Not yet — only the digital link and QR code. The recipient gets a nicely designed email which they can print themselves, but we don't produce a fancy branded PDF at the moment.

03Can I undo a redemption?+

Through support — email support@sbs.im, we'll restore the card's status and remaining balance.

04Does the customer need internet?+

No. A screenshot of the QR or a printed link is enough. The cashier needs internet so the app can look up the certificate.

05Integration with POS / ERP?+

Via our API — available on the «Business» plan. Example: when your POS writes a receipt, it can automatically redeem the certificate through the SBS API.

06Is there a limit on the number of cards?+

No — issue as many as you need. The app list shows the last 50; search and filters reach all of them.
