Gift certificates can only be purchased/created from the storefront and cannot be used to purchase other gift certificates. The following steps illustrate the flow a customer would follow to buy a gift certificate from the storefront.

1. Locate and click the Gift Certificates link. Generally, this is located in the top menu of a storefront but may vary from theme to theme.

• Recipient's Name* — the name of the person the gift certificate is being purchased for.
• Recipient's Email* — email address of the person the gift certificate is being purchased for. The gift certificate code will be sent to this email address once the order has been completed.
• Your Name* — the name of the person sending the gift certificate. This will appear on the gift certificate email that is sent to the recipient after purchase.

3. Click the I understand that gift certificates are non-refundable checkbox.
