Gift Cards- FAQ's
Purchasing & Delivery
-
Q: How is the gift card delivered?
- A: Gift cards are delivered digitally via email almost instantly after purchase (or after routine fraud-screening checks are completed). The email contains your unique gift card code and instructions on how to use it.
-
Q: Can I buy multiple gift cards to reach a higher amount (like a $1,000 gift)?
- A: Yes! If you want to purchase a higher gift card amount (such as combining two $500 gift cards to reach a $1,000 total) you can easily purchase them separately.
-
Q: Can promotional discount codes be applied when purchasing a gift card?
- A: No. Standard store-wide discount codes, promotional coupons, or referral credits cannot be applied to the standalone purchase of a gift card unless there is a specific promotion tied to the purchase of a gift card.
-
Q: Can I use a gift card to buy another gift card?
- A: No. Gift cards cannot be used to purchase additional gift cards.
Geographic & International Rules
-
Q: Can gift cards be used internationally or on international versions of your site?
- A: No. Gift cards are not valid on international regional domains, subsidiary stores, or for international shipping addresses.
Shopify Redemption & Checkout
-
Q: How do I redeem my gift card at checkout?
- A: Add your items to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout. On desktop, look for the "Gift card or discount code" box on the right-hand side of the page. On mobile, tap "Show order summary" at the top of the screen to reveal the code box. Type or paste your 16-character code and click Apply.
-
Q: Do I have to spend the entire balance at once?
- A: No. If your order total is less than your gift card value, the remaining balance will stay securely tied to your unique code for future purchases.
-
Q: Can I use multiple gift cards on a single order?
- A: Yes! Shopify natively allows you to stack more than one gift card on a single purchase. Simply enter the first code and click "Apply," then enter the next code in the same box.
-
Q: What if my order total is higher than my gift card balance?
- A: If your order exceeds your gift card value, you can easily pay the remaining balance using any standard payment method accepted at checkout.
-
Q: Can I reload my gift card when the balance runs low?
- A: No. Gift cards are single-load digital assets and cannot be reloaded with additional funds once the balance is depleted.
Balance & Troubleshooting
-
Q: How do I check my remaining gift card balance?
- A: You can check your balance by clicking the 'View Gift Card' link in your original gift card email, by entering the code at checkout (no purchase necessary), or by reaching out to our customer support team at sales@ctr-electronics.com.
-
Q: What if I lost my gift card email or accidentally deleted it?
- A: Don't worry! Reach out to our support team at sales@ctr-electronics.com with the original purchaser's name and order number, and we can easily look up your code and resend the digital gift card.
