# How do I turn on gift cards and add them to my website?

> The three switches that make gift cards visible — the plan feature, the website page, and at least one card available online.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Gift Cards are available on plans that include **Gift Cards** — if you don't see them in your dashboard, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Gift Cards is **off by default**. On **Settings > Organization > Features** the card reads "Sell and issue gift cards redeemable at checkout — for programs, memberships, passes, and store items." That page is read-only for your staff ("View which features are available on your current plan"), so enabling it is an Uplifter change.
  * Selling online needs **all** of: the Gift Cards feature, the Store feature, **Website > Pages > Store** enabled, **Website > Pages > Gift Cards** enabled, and at least one card that is both **Active** and **Available online**.
  * The point-of-sale register's **Gift Cards** tab does not need the website page toggle.
</Note>

## What appears once the feature is on

Two dashboard entries show up:

* **Store > Gift Cards** — the design catalog ("Design gift cards to sell online, at the POS, or issue to families directly"). Turning the Store section off removes this entry entirely.
* **Financials > Gift Cards** — every issued card. This one also requires the Financials **view** permission.

Reading the catalog needs Financials view; creating and editing cards needs Financials create/edit.

## Publishing the page on your website

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable the Gift Cards page">
    Go to **Settings > Website > Pages**. The **Gift Cards** row defaults to **off** and notes "Requires the Store page to also be enabled." Switch it on (and make sure **Store** is on too), then save — you'll see "Page visibility settings saved". The row links to **Manage Gift Cards** for the catalog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish at least one card">
    Open **Store > Gift Cards** and make sure a design is both **Active** and **Available online**. With the surface on but nothing published, visitors see "No gift cards are available right now."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the live page">
    The public page sits at **/gift-cards** on your site and appears in the storefront **Shop** group in the order Store, Passes, Memberships, Gift Cards.
  </Step>
