# Create a gift card campaign

> You can create gift cards using our coupons feature that you can offer to your customers as an alternative to a refund or as a reward for a contest.

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.talon.one/llms.txt).

It is also possible to [import gift cards](/docs/product/campaigns/coupons/manage-coupons.md#import-coupon-codes)
that you created outside of Talon.One.

Let's set up a [standard campaign](/docs/product/campaigns/overview#standard-campaigns)
for 1400 customers. The objective is for each customer to be able to use their gift card to
pay for any order, regardless of the order value.

Let's create:

1. A [promotion rule](/docs/product/rules/overview.md#promotion-rules) to allow customers to pay an
   entire order with a gift card. If the gift card value is greater than the session total,
   the gift card remainder is updated and the customer will be able to use the gift card again
   in other sessions.
1. A [gift card](/docs/product/campaigns/coupons/create-coupons.md#generate-a-gift-card)
   worth $60.

:::note
The [**Coupons** feature](/docs/product/campaigns/settings/manage-campaign-features.md)
has to be enabled.

## Enable payment with a gift card

Let's [build a rule](/docs/product/rules/create-and-manage-rules.md#create-a-promotion-rule)
for customers to pay up to $60 with a gift card.

We'll enable [**partial discounts**](/docs/product/applications/manage-general-settings.md#partial-discounts)
in the rule so the entire value of the gift card is deducted when it is less than the
session total.

Let's name the rule `Paying with a gift card`. It has one condition and one effect.

### Rule 1: Condition

**Coupon code is valid**.

### Rule 1: Effect

**Discount session total**: **Name** is `Gift card redemption` and **Discount value** is `[Session.Total]`.

- **Allow lower discount value if budget is insufficient** is `yes`.

:::note
The gift card remainder is automatically updated when the session is closed thanks to the
**Coupon code is valid** condition. The customer will be able to use the remainder in
future purchases.
:::

## Create the gift card

Once we have the rule that defines our gift card campaign, let's create our gift card and
set its value. Your customers will be able to pay up to $60 with the gift card when using
it for the first time. Whenever a customer pays an order with it and the session is closed,
the remainder is updated.

To use gift cards that you created outside of Talon.One, [import them through
the coupons import feature](/docs/product/campaigns/coupons/manage-coupons#import-coupon-codes).

In our case, we create the gift card directly in the **Coupons** section of our campaign:

- Type of coupon: **Gift Card**
- Number of gift cards: `1400`
- Gift card value: `60`
- Code length: `12`
