Use Case
Digital Gift Cards for Salons
Sell digital gift cards online with Stripe payments, custom designs, and full redemption tracking.
Gift cards are one of the easiest ways to attract new clients and increase revenue from existing ones — especially around holidays and special occasions. Bella Booking's built-in gift card system lets clients purchase digital gift cards directly from your online booking page, with secure Stripe payment processing, custom designs, and a personal message. You track every card from purchase through redemption with a full audit trail.
Who this is for
- Salons wanting to sell gift cards online without third-party platforms
- Businesses looking for easy holiday and seasonal revenue
- Salons where clients frequently gift services to friends and family
- Any beauty business wanting a professional gift card system integrated with their booking software
Common challenges
No integrated gift card system
Selling gift cards through a separate platform means managing two systems — one for bookings, one for gift cards. Redemption tracking is manual and error-prone.
Paper or generic gift vouchers
Handwritten vouchers or generic templates look unprofessional and are easy to forge. There's no way to verify authenticity or track remaining balances.
No online purchase option
If clients can only buy gift cards in person, you miss last-minute gift purchases — especially around holidays when people want instant delivery.
Tracking balances and partial redemptions
A gift card might be used across multiple visits. Without proper balance tracking, staff either refuse partial redemption or lose track of remaining value.
How Bella Booking helps
Online purchase with Stripe payments
Clients buy gift cards directly from your online booking page. Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Cards are delivered digitally with a unique code.
Custom gift card designs
Upload your own designs to brand the gift card experience. Purchasers can add a personal message to the recipient.
Full redemption tracking
Every redemption is recorded with date, amount, and remaining balance. Support for partial redemptions — a gift card can be used across multiple visits until the balance reaches zero.
Unique codes and verification
Each gift card has a unique code and number. Staff can look up any card by code to verify authenticity and check the remaining balance before applying it to a sale.
Expiry management
Set expiry dates on gift cards. The system tracks expiry status and prevents redemption of expired cards.
Void and status management
Cards move through clear statuses: Pending (payment processing), Active (ready to use), Redeemed (fully used), or Voided (cancelled). Full lifecycle visibility.
