Step 1: Navigate to Gift Cards
Log in to your Pabau account, and in the left sidebar menu, go to Marketing, then click on Gift Cards.
Step 2: Create a Gift Card
Click on "Create Card" to initiate the gift card creation process.
-
Set the card name
Choose a name for the card so it’s easy to recognize and market (e.g., “Birthday Treat Card” or “Luxury Facial Gift”). -
Set the terms and conditions
Define any rules around how the card can be used—such as expiry dates, usage limits, or exclusions (e.g., “Non-refundable” or “Cannot be combined with other offers”). -
Set the card value
Decide how much the card is worth (e.g., £50, £100, or a custom amount). This value determines what the recipient can redeem it for. -
Set the card validity
Choose how long the card will remain valid after it’s issued (e.g., 6 months, 1 year). -
Specify which services the gift cards can be used for
Limit or allow the card to be used only for specific treatments or services (e.g., “Valid only for massages and facials”). -
Preview changes to the name and value in the centre of the screen
As you update the name and value, a preview will appear in the middle of the screen so you can see how the card will look before saving it.
To customize the appearance of your gift card, head to the next step by clicking the “Next” button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
In the Appearance step, you can:
-
🎨 Choose a background color – There are 4 preset color options available to choose from.

🖼️ Upload a background image (Marketing Plus feature) – If you'd like to use a custom image as the background of your card, you’ll need to have Marketing Plus subscription.

This step is all about giving your gift cards a touch of personality while ensuring they’re easy and convenient for clients to use.
