Gift code pool

A gift code pool is a bunch of gift codes created simultaneously which contain similar information such as Balance, Expired dates, templates and others. Store admins are able to create a pool to generate a series of gift codes in the quickest way.

In case you want to edit the expired date of a gift code pool, you can click the blue Edit button in the column Action of the grid. The change can be made at the box Expired At in the section Gift Card Information. Similarly, you can find the same place to set the expiration date when it comes to generating a new gift code pool.
