The short answer

A gift certificate represents a stated value or service; a coupon provides a particular promotional benefit. Before launching, decide how certificates are issued, where they are accepted and what happens to any remaining balance. Clear rules matter as much as presentation.

Gifts and discovery — StampiGram
Actual app components · sample data

1. Choose the issuing scenario

A certificate might be purchased as a gift or issued by a venue as a promotion. Those scenarios have different accounting needs. A certificate preview is not a complete online sales system: payment acceptance, refunds and issuing require separate setup and verification.

2. Explain value and redemption

Specify the currency, value, participating venues and presentation method. The current StampiGram demo certificate is redeemed in full in one order, without carrying over a balance. These are conditions of this sample offer, not universal rules for every country or future certificate.

3. Show the certificate to the guest

The customer sees the value, venue, expiry and terms in the app. Staff verify availability at redemption. The component on this site switches language and sample currency with the page. It is not evidence that settlement in every currency is already supported.

4. Review requirements in your market

Expiry, refunds, partial use, taxes and required disclosures depend on the country and sales arrangement. Confirm local conditions before launch. During the pilot, StampiGram discusses the country, language and required features with each venue.

5. Measure use and new guests

Separate issued, paid, redeemed and cancelled certificates. To assess discovery, count recipients making their first visit and track whether they return. Issuing a certificate does not itself establish a visit or additional profit.

Action plan

  • Define how certificates are issued.
  • Specify value, currency and participating locations.
  • Confirm balance, refund and expiry rules.
  • Prepare staff redemption instructions.
  • Track issuing, payment and redemption separately.

What to measure

Redemption rate = redeemed certificates / issued certificates in the same cohort. Track recipients’ first and repeat visits as additional measures.
