A gift certificate is created when someone purchases a voucher or package for someone else. This gift certificate can also be sent to the purchaser or recipient via email.

You can create your own gift certificate design by following this guide as the design needs to ensure there is adequate room for the system to insert all the relevant information (e.g. purchaser, recipient, message etc).

### Steps

1. Navigate to **Setup** > **Shopping** > **Gift Certificates**
2. Click **Add** **Custom Gift Certificate**
3. Enter the certificate name
4. Click **Layout template** link to download the gift certificate layout guide ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-QTSNHIT8.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Template layout and dimensions**

> The layout for your new design needs to be the following dimensions, to ensure that text that the system inserts is visible.

> 
> When you download the layout template it looks like this, and matches the above dimensions so you can compare them to ensure your design aligns.
