Gift Card user interface suggestions - feature request

  1. Show the balance of gift cards on the Check Status box, instead of having users to click at the box to see the balance.

  1. For gift cards that have a balance of zero (0) dollar, ie. gift cards that have been used up, gray out or hide the listing.

  2. Provide a total amount of available balance of all the gift cards so users don’t have to count and do the math.

Its a privacy thing I imagine why it doesn’t show. Definitely making the spent ones a different color would be better though,

These info should only be visible to the gift card owners after they log in :). They are under the Redemption tab.

definitely support this 25characters

I think it was done this way to reduce API calls to Shopify. Clearly, it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. I believe that sooner or later they will do what you say.

Or amid the many competing things to do, MW hasn’t had a chance to get to this kind of details yet :slight_smile:

There should be ways to mitigate the API calls. One way would be to have the text box diplaying a default value of $40.00 or whatever currency the full card value is in. Then update only when the value has changed which occurs when the gift card code has been applied to a purchase. The update of the balance and the gray out or color change happen in the same event. Or if Shopify has conditional logic built in, that can be looked into as well.

I’ve been hoping for something like this. As of now, I copy and paste each code into a spreadsheet and manually update the values as they are used.

this is a good idea, thanks!
