How to manage group gifting for teachers, new babies, or special occasions online - your checklist

How to manage group gifting online: your checklist for easy group collections without fees

1 Create a GiftRound

• ‍‍Create a GiftRound, set the end date and currency in just a few clicks
• Personalise the appearance by clicking the icons on the areas you’d like to change, collection photo, name etc.
• Copy and share the GiftRound link from the ‘What’s next’ panel which includes a sample message where you can add specific details or instructions about your collection.  
• Use the ‘Preview’ button to view the collection as contributors will see it, without editing icons and contribution amounts etc.
• Use the person icon in the top right corner to view your account preferences and all your active and completed GiftRounds‍

Handy tip
👋 You can create one GiftRound that can be split between recipients if needed (perfect for teacher gifts!).

‍

2  Contributions coming in

• ‍‍GiftRound accepts global contributions and payments can be made with Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• Contributors can edit their comments anytime via their confirmation email and organisers can hide comments if needed.
  You can extend the collection end date if needed - perfect for those last minute contributions (up to 6 months after creation date).

Handy tip
👋 Contributors can include GIFs or images and use 'Writer’s Block' if they need a little inspiration.

3 Spending the GiftRound and sharing the free group card

• With GiftRound, every collection is redeemed as a FlexCard which empowers recipients to choose from any of the 95+ supported brands including John Lewis, M&S, Argos and Currys. They can spend it all in one go or carve it up their way.‍
• Flexible delivery options: send e-gift cards to yourself (to hand-deliver) or straight to the recipient’s email and you can re-send or download and print FlexCards anytime from your organiser page.
• ‍Recipients can view the collection page with all the lovely comments and you can download a free group card once the collection ends.

Handy tip

👋 FlexCards are valid for 12 months from the purchase date.
