To create a sellable Gift Card product, try the following:

  1. Set up the GC as a purchasable product in BL, mark it as “Core” inventory (a checkbox on the “Miscellaneous” tab), mark it as "Gift Card" (another checkbox in the "Miscellaneous" tab).
  2. Make the first GC its own Master SKU. (Click the "View Sub SKUs checkbox, then visit the Sub SKUs tab).
  3. Use the BL Price attribute, to set up custom options for your GC denominations ($25, $50, $75, etc…), and assign the corresponding value to each GC.
  4. Use the "Duplicate" button to create as many additional  GC products in BL as needed, and assign each of them their corresponding price option.
    1. Using the Duplicate button will designate the first GC that you create as the Master SKU item, and subsequent duplicates as Sub SKUs.  But if you already have other GC products not created via the Duplicate button, please visit each GC's Master SKU tab and verify that they all share the same Master SKU. 
  5. When finished, contact us so that we can enable the Price attribute on your Website. It will end up looking like this: http://www.iupstore.com/co-op-store-giftcard

 

If this is the first item you are selling an item with different price attributes on your website, there is an additional step. On the Timber tab of the new master sku item, you will find an "Attribute Management" tab. Price Attributes need to be checked off and a name needs to be given to the Price Attribute. We typically use "amount". This will appear for customers above the list of price options.
