# Understand Facet's gift card page and recipient form

> See what Facet's gift card page shows customers, from balance and code to QR code and Apple Wallet, and how shoppers send a gift card to someone else.

When a customer buys a gift card, Shopify emails a link to a gift card page. Facet's gift card page shows the card's balance, its code, a QR code to scan in store, and an Apple Wallet button. This page covers what that page shows, which theme settings change its look, and the recipient form shoppers use on the product page to send a gift card to someone else.

## What this page shows

* The remaining balance of the gift card, as the main heading.
* A "This gift card has expired" line when the card has expired or has been turned off.
* The expiry date, when the gift card has one.
* Your store logo. Without a logo, a generic gift card picture shows instead.
* The gift card code, with the line "Use this gift card at checkout".
* A QR code that store staff can scan to redeem the card in person.
* An **Add to Apple Wallet** button, when Shopify provides a wallet pass for the card.

## Getting started

The gift card page has no section or settings in the Theme Customizer. It is a fixed page that Shopify fills with each card's details.

**1. Create a gift card product**

In your Shopify admin, open **Products**, then **Gift cards**, and click **Add gift card product**. Shoppers buy it on a normal product page.

**2. Preview the page**

In your Shopify admin, open **Products**, then **Gift cards**, issue or open a gift card, and use its link to see the page your customers get.

![The theme editor with the Gift card template open: the sidebar notes the page has no sections and links to theme settings, and the preview shows a sample gift card.](https://mintcdn.com/lightsout/JLHyBPHbW516g-34/images/themes/facet/products/gift-card/gift-card-location.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JLHyBPHbW516g-34\&q=85\&s=b01f51f447d3155903ddf95c9d1057c1)

## Theme settings that change its look

* **Logo**: the logo you set in [Logo](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/theme-settings/logo.md) shows on the page. The **Logo width** setting does not apply here.
* **Fonts**: the page uses the body and heading fonts from [Typography](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/theme-settings/typography.md).
* **Colors**: the page background and text use your first color scheme. See [Colors](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/theme-settings/colors.md).

The page text, such as "Use this gift card at checkout", comes from the theme's language file. To change it, open **Online Store**, then **Themes**, click the three dots next to Facet, choose **Edit default theme content**, and search for "gift card".

## Gift card recipient form

On the product page of a gift card product, the [Buy buttons](https://docs.shopify.lightsout.agency/themes/facet/products/product-page.md) block shows an extra section labeled "I want to send this as a gift". It is closed until the shopper opens it. Inside are these fields:

* **Recipient email**: where Shopify sends the gift card.
* **Recipient name (optional)**.
* **Message (optional)**: up to 200 characters, included with the gift card.
* **Send on (optional)**: a date to send the gift card on, instead of right after the order.

The recipient details are sent only when the shopper opens this section. If it stays closed, the shopper buys the gift card for themselves, and checkout does not ask for a recipient email. A shopper who opens the section and then closes it again also buys the card for themselves.

Shopify handles the sending. The recipient gets the email with the link to the gift card page described above.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The recipient form needs no setup. It appears on every gift card product that uses a template with the **Buy buttons** block.

## Best practices

* **Upload a logo.** The logo makes the gift card page clearly yours. Without one, customers see a generic gift card picture.
* **Test a purchase.** Buy a low-value gift card with the recipient form filled in, to check the email and page your customers get.
* **Mention in-store use.** If you sell in a physical store, tell customers they can show the QR code at the till.
