Customers often want to know how much value remains on their gift card before they shop — but without a balance check tool, they are forced to guess or contact customer support. This creates friction, delays, and poor user experience.

The Gift Card Balance Check Online feature solves this by giving customers the ability to view their gift card balance instantly from the website. By simply entering their gift card code, users get an up-to-date display of remaining value, helping them plan purchases with confidence.

Key Features & Benefits:

Secure Validation of Card Codes

  • Verifies that the card exists and is active
  • Prevents disclosure of sensitive data for invalid or expired cards

Example Use Case:

A customer receives a gift card as part of a holiday promotion. Before making a purchase, they visit your website and:

  1. Navigate to the “Check Gift Card Balance” page
  2. Enter their gift card code (e.g., GFT-2024-AB12)
  3. Instantly see:

    Your remaining gift card balance is $42.75

They confidently proceed to checkout, knowing exactly how much they can spend.

Summary:

The Gift Card Balance Check Online feature enhances your Odoo eCommerce site by allowing customers to verify their gift card value at any time. It improves user experience, encourages purchases, reduces support workload, and delivers the modern, transparent functionality today’s shoppers expect.
