## E-Gift Cards
E-Gift Cards are part of the SpotOn Order system, and are accessed via the organization’s SpotOn Order home page.
> ℹ️ Users can buy gift cards ranging from $10 - $500, which can be used at all locations linked to the same organization (through group ID).
Organizations also have the option to have custom gift card templates, custom themes, and promo gift cards, currently only available on a limited basis.
E-gift cards can be purchased online by a user, after which both the recipient and sender get emails with portal links. If an organization has promo gift cards they go through the same flow, except before checkout they are prompted to enter details for the promo gift card(s) they have received.

## Promo Gift Cards in the SpotOn Order Portal
Promo gift cards are given to a user after they have spent a certain amount on gift card purchases.

| 2. When the user selects **Continue to Checkout**, they will see pop-up of a proof of the card |  |
