# Gift card

A `gift card` is a special type of product. Its value can be used as payment toward future orders from your online store.

You can use gift cards in any of the following ways:

* Sell them in an online store like any other product.
* Share links to gift card products on social media.
* Issue a gift card to a customer for free as a reward or incentive.

When you fulfill an order with a gift card, the customer receives an email that contains a unique gift card code that they can use at checkout to redeem its value.
