More bookings during the water sports season with the i-Reserve Gift Voucher module

What is a Gift Voucher within i-Reserve?

A gift certificate is more than just a means of payment. It's a flexible value that can be used as a gift, discount, or credit for your services. In the i-Reserve online reservation system , this process is completely digital and can be personalized in detail.

Gift certificates can be purchased by your customers as a gift. Think of a fun canoe or kayak trip to surprise someone. But the possibilities are even broader. As a rental company, you can also offer discounts with special promotions, or hand out promotional certificates to loyal customers to reward them. It even works like a store credit. Suppose a customer pays in advance but needs to cancel. With a gift certificate, you retain the value while keeping your administration organized.

But how does this work in our reservation system? With i-Reserve creating a gift card always starts with setting a gift card type. This determines the basics, such as the validity period and any fixed discounts. Once this type is set, i-Reserve automatically generates unique codes that customers can use when booking. It's that simple!

A unique experience as a gift for family or friends

Want to give your customers something special as a gift? Think of a day on the water in a canoe, kayak, or boat. With the Gift Voucher module , you can give them that opportunity. Here's how it works: Your customer buys a gift voucher online through the i-Reserve reservation system, sets the value, and pays. Within minutes, they'll receive a unique, digitally processed code. No paperwork, no waiting. The recipient can then make a reservation themselves using the voucher.

This transforms a typical gift into a unique experience. And you immediately attract potential new customers—the recipients of the voucher. A double benefit.

Easy digital processing

The power of the Gift Card module lies in its simplicity. The entire process is digital—from creating the card to using it. Everything is clearly tracked, so you don't waste time on manual administration. The unique codes are automatically generated and easy to manage.

Want to link vouchers to individual customers? No problem. These vouchers can be sent directly via an email template and are ready to use. You can also always see which vouchers have already been redeemed and which are still waiting.

For reservations, it's even possible to use multiple gift certificate codes simultaneously. Everything is calculated and processed quickly, eliminating error-prone manual entry. This accuracy saves time and stress.

Increasing sales and more returning customers

But what makes gift certificates truly useful for your business? The fact that they foster customer loyalty. Someone who receives a gift certificate often doesn't come alone. Think of groups of friends or families. This means extra bookings and new faces in your customer base.

This system also indirectly promotes your business. Recipients discover your services and often return later. In short, your revenue increases not only through the voucher sales but also through all the customers who use them thanks to the voucher.
