Gift Card for Magento 2

Challenge

Every day thousands of customers browse through numerous online stores to find an ideal gift for their friends, colleagues or relatives. Even though browsing a catalog is a time-consuming task, many stores still do not provide special offers for such cases. Unfortunately, if visitors can’t find a great idea for a gift, there is a high risk that those who are not certain about a specific present may leave your store without making a purchase. That’s why many store owners try to help customers with gift searching.
