We propose the development of a new feature aimed at streamlining the process of purchasing and gifting digital gift cards through our platform. This enhancement involves the implementation of a form that not only facilitates the secure taking of payments but also enables customers to designate gift cards as gifts directly from the purchase interface. Key components of this feature request include:
Secure Payment Processing: Incorporate a form within our existing system that allows for the safe and efficient processing of payments when purchasing gift cards. This should include support for various payment methods (Apple Pay, Google Pay and Stripe Cards)
Gift Card Gifting Option: Provide an option within the payment form for purchasers to indicate that the gift card is a gift. This should trigger additional fields where the buyer can enter the recipient's information, including name and email address, and optionally, a personal message.
Automated Gift Card Delivery: Upon successful payment, the system should automatically generate and send the digital gift card to the recipient's email address provided by the purchaser. The email should include the gift card code, the sender's personal message (if provided), and instructions on how to use the gift card.
Notification to the Purchaser: After the gift card is sent to the recipient, the purchaser should receive a confirmation email notifying them that their gift has been delivered, along with the details of the transaction for their records.
Ease of Use and Accessibility: Ensure that the entire process, from payment to gifting, is user-friendly and accessible across all devices, thereby enhancing the customer experience and encouraging the gifting of gift cards.
The implementation of this feature aims to expand our service offering, making it more convenient for users to purchase and gift digital gift cards, thereby driving sales and enhancing customer engagement with our platform.
