To Add Your First Gift Card###

- Optionally, you can select a collection on your store to which the gift card can be applied. You can choose as many selections as you want.

You can also edit the URL and handle (which is automatically generated from the gift card title), and enter an optional meta description.
- Click Publish to save the record and display the gift card on your store.
A message appears after a successful save. You are then taken back to the Gift cards for sale page, where you can see the gift card you just added.
To Add More Gift Cards###
The steps for adding more gift cards to your store are essentially the same as the steps for adding your first gift card (see To Add Your First Gift Card), except that you click the Add Gift Card button on the top right of the Gift cards for sale page.

- On the Gift cards for sale page, click either the name of the gift card to be edited, or the Edit button to the right of the product.

Saving a Gift Card as a Draft
When adding a gift card, you can save it as a draft for editing later, or if you just want it to be ready for publication at the proper time. Saving a gift card as a draft does not publish the gift card for display on your storefront.
To save a product as a draft, on the Add a gift card page, after entering the details for the gift card, click the Save draft button.
You will know a gift card is a draft if you see a Publish button to the right of the product on the Gift cards for sale page.
To publish a draft gift card, see Publishing a Draft Gift Card.
