## Creating A Gift Card

Gift cards are a quick process to make. Simply start by generating a code, or making one manually. Giving it a name, then specifying it's duration which is optional and the balance you wish to have on the gift card!

In the example below I made a simple gift card with a $50 balance utilizing a random generated code for a user's birthday. After filling out your desired amounts, hit **Create**!
