Creating Gift Certificates
For creating and generating gift certificates for individual items.
To produce gift certificates for individual items, you must flag the item as needing a gift certificate and provide instructions for redeeming the certificate. Then gift certificates can be generated and printed individually or in bulk.
Since lots are often comprised of items from different donors (and thus, different redemption instructions), a gift certificate can be created for each item within the lot and will be generated as a group. Alternatively, you can create a gift certificate for the Master Lot item to generate a single gift certificate.
To Create a Gift Certificate for an item:
Go to Catalog > Add or Edit Item > Click on Gift Certificate Tab:
To Format Gift Certificates:
The layout of gift certificates is fixed, but you can specify the desired border (or no border) at Site Settings > Items > Printing > Print Settings
