Create a E Gift Branch in your Facilipay Dashboard
Set up an E Gift branch in your Facilipay Dashboard so customers can purchase Digital Gift Cards from your business at any time.
Before You Begin
- You must have a payment gateway connected before setting up your E Gift branch — you cannot accept payments without one.
- Have a contact phone number and email address ready to add to the branch (optional but recommended).
Step-by-Step: Create the E Gift Branch
- Log Into Your Dashboard Log into your Facilipay Dashboard.
- Navigate to Branches Go to My Business, then select Branches.
- Create the Branch Click Create Branch in the top right of the screen.
- Name and Configure the Branch Set the Name to E Gift. You can also supply a contact phone number and email address. Toggle on Online Store.
Note: You'll get an error here if you don't have a payment gateway connected.
- Open Branch Details Once the branch is created, click the three dots to the left of the branch name, then select Details.
- Navigate to Ordering From the top menu, select Ordering.
- Edit the E Commerce Interface Click Edit to the right of E Commerce Interface (the top option on this screen).
- Set the Interface Type Change the dropdown to E Gift Card Interface. Set an Experience Inbox so you receive a copy of the vouchers.
- Add Optional Extras Optionally, add a service charge amount and description. Click Save.
- Return to Location Details Click back on Location Details in the top menu.
- Edit Opening Hours Click Edit next to Opening Hours.
- Set the Branch to Always Open Ensure the location is open from 00:00 to 23:59 every day. Use the Open 24 Hours toggle, or the individual open/close toggles for each day. Click Save.
Tips & Best Practices
- Connect your payment gateway first: Setting this up before creating the branch avoids hitting the online store error partway through.
- Keep the experience inbox monitored: This is where voucher copies are sent, so make sure it's an inbox that's actively checked.
