Configuring and Enabling eGift    

To get to eGift, type eGift into the Convobar, or go to Management > eGift.

To configure eGift (the Main tab)

See our eGift FAQs for details on copying your eGift URL.

  1. Google Analytics Tracking Id and Google Tag Manager Id: Enter the Google Analytics ID for your eGift Property and the Google Tag Manager Id. 
  2. Default referral type assigned: New client profiles created through an eGift registration will automatically be assigned this Referral Type. This field is required if the Business Preferences setting Require referral type when saving a new client is enabled.

Additional Delivery Options

  1. Enable mail delivery: Clients can have a gift card shipped to a physical address that the client specifies during purchase. See Processing Mail and Pick Up eGift Orders for details on this delivery method.
    1. Processing time  __ days: This option sets the expectation as to when the gift card will ship ("this many days after purchase"). The setting here is displayed to the client on the eGift website during checkout, as shown below. Setting this option to zero (0) makes the approximate ship date "today," the day the eGift is purchased.

 

Note: eGift honors the business hours and holidays you set up in Meevo. If your business will be closed on the Approximate Ship By date, clients will be unable to select that day, but they can select the next available date that your business is open.

  • Charge shipping fee: Enable this option to charge a shipping fee for mail delivery. Your configured Shipping Fees appear in this list, and will be available selections for clients during a Mail purchase. Clients will be charged a shipping fee for each address they are shipping to. You can have up to 5 Shipping Fees configured for eGift.

Note: The shipping fee is not affected by discounts; the fee is added to the total after a discount is applied. You can apply more than one fee to a transaction (for example, a shipping fee and a processing fee).

  • Enable user to schedule mail date: When enabled, clients can select a desired mail date for their eGift using a date picker.
  1. Enable in-store pick up: When this is enabled, clients have the option to come into the business to pick up their gift card. See Processing Mail and Pick Up eGift Orders for additional information on this delivery method.
  • Ready in __ working hours: Specify how long after the client's purchase it will take to prepare the gift card for pickup; this is the earliest the gift card can be picked up. Your entry here will determine the pickup date if Pick Up Gift Card at earliest date is selected.

 

Note: eGift honors the business hours and holidays you set up in Meevo. If your business will be closed on the Pick Up Gift Card at earliest date, clients will be unable to select that day, but they can instead select the next available date that your business is open. 

  • Enable user to schedule pick-up date: When enabled, the client will be able to schedule a pickup date for themselves using a date picker.

 

Gift Card Settings

  1. Gift card expires after __ weeks: The gift card will expire this many weeks after its Activation Date. The client picks the Activation Date during the purchase process.
  2. Free gift cards expire after __ weeks: When a client receives a free gift card as a result of a Buy One, Get One (BOGO) discount, that gift card will expire after this many weeks. To encourage clients to use their free gift card first, we recommend this setting be sooner than the Gift card expires after __ weeks setting.
  3. Enable Continue as Guest option: Enable this option to allow clients to complete a transaction as a "guest" without logging in. When this option is not selected, clients must log in before they can complete a transaction.
