Simple Redemption, Zero Hassle
Gift cards are easy for patrons to redeem and completely hands-off for your staff.
Redeem with a code
Recipients use a unique gift card code at checkout for tickets or merchandise. No special setup or staff assistance required.
Self-serve balance checks
Customers can check gift card balances or resend confirmation emails on their own—anytime, using just their email or card code.
Embed on your website
Venues can embed a balance-check link directly on their website, empowering patrons with no staff involvement needed.
Gift cards never expire
No expiration dates means higher patron satisfaction and long-term usage—and no compliance headaches for you.
Automatic confirmations
Purchase, delivery, and redemption emails are all fully automated. We handle the tracking, so there’s nothing to reconcile by hand.
Tickets and merchandise
One gift card balance works across your whole catalog—event tickets, season packages, concessions, and merchandise.
Turn Refunds Into Future Revenue
Gift cards aren’t just for gifting—they’re a smart tool for revenue retention. Instead of refunding to a credit card, issue a gift card credit.
Event canceled or exchanged
A show is canceled, a patron needs a partial refund, or tickets are exchanged.
Issue a gift card credit
One click issues the balance as a gift card instead of a credit card refund.
Revenue stays with you
Patrons return for future events, and the money never leaves your organization.
- Ideal for canceled events, ticket exchanges, or partial refunds
- Preserve revenue and encourage future attendance
- All redemptions and refunds are tracked automatically in your reports
- Pairs naturally with Cancel For Any Reason ticket protection
Reporting & CRM Integration
Every gift card purchase and redemption is automatically tracked in your ThunderTix reports and tied directly to customer profiles inside your built-in CRM.
- View a complete history of all gift cards a patron has purchased (for themselves or others)
- Instantly see any gift cards they’ve received from other buyers
- Each card displays with its unique code and remaining balance
- No more digging—everything is visible at a glance inside the customer profile
When a patron with an open gift card balance reaches checkout—whether online or through the box office—your staff is automatically notified of any active gift cards and can apply them to the order with a single click. It’s a faster, friendlier checkout experience that ensures credits don’t go unused or forgotten.
