MakerWorld seems to be doing nothing regarding easily seeing which gift cards have been used, and which have not. I’ve got the solution! I just created this gift card tracker Notion template. Just click this link and install it, then add gift cards.
If you don’t have a Notion account, make one I highly recommend!
Hope this helps!
Just want to clarify that I get no benefit from the above link, I’m just sharing it to help you all out.
Better tracking or integrating the gift cards into the shopping card check-out process has been requested by many. One shouldn’t have to use any external tool to do track them.
If integrating it into the check-out process takes too long, can @MakerWorld gray out gift cards that have a balance of zero in the interim?
Yes, They can also show the balance of each card instead of having users to click a button to view. Some have raised concern that will increase API calls, but if all the cards starts with a constant value of $40 or whatever currency it’s on, and update it when the card is used, there shouldn’t be additional API calls.
I use obsidian to track myself, have used notion in the past, but obsidian is a more interesting tool to me - local and with standard markdown text files
Notes is fine (now that it has been updated and you can at least reference other notes within it) but I use obsidian much more extensively and for many things - in a zettelkasten approach - that notes simply wouldn’t be able to handle, but whatever works for you
