Gift cards, explained
How do salon gift cards work?
A salon gift card is a prepaid code for a value or a service that one person buys and another redeems at checkout. In the Gulf, Eid and Mother's Day on 21 March are the big gifting moments. DINGG issues each card with a unique code, keeps its balance and validity, and redeems it at the branches you choose.
- Unique codes, one at a time or up to 5,000 in a batch
- Your own design, sent to the recipient
- Balance and validity per code, redeemed at chosen branches
Quick answer: Salon gift cards in DINGG are e-gift cards with unique codes, sold at the desk, with a balance that shows at billing and a validity you set. They can be used at the branches you choose, with 10% VAT charged on sale or on redemption.
Why it matters
Two gifting peaks, twelve days apart
In 2027, Eid al-Fitr is expected on 9 or 10 March and Mother's Day falls on 21 March, so the busiest gifting weeks of the year sit back to back. Platform data from the US and Canada also shows that about a quarter of salon gift cards are redeemed by people new to the salon.
DINGG sells your gift cards before Eid, in your design and with a unique code, so the money comes in early and the visit, often from a new client, comes later.

- Template editor
- Designs per occasion
- Your logo and colours
Redeem
Redeemed at checkout, balance per code
Enter the code at checkout and DINGG checks its balance and validity, takes part of the value if the bill is smaller and keeps the rest for next time. Expired codes are refused, and fully used codes can be reused for a new card.
- Balance per code
- Partial use
- Expired codes refused
Batches
Corporate and bulk orders in batches
Issue a batch of unique codes with one value and one validity for a company order or a promotion, import gift codes you already sold, and see the redemptions on each code.
- Batches of unique codes
- Import existing codes
- Redemptions per code
Branches & tax
Valid where you choose, taxed the way you choose
A gift card can be valid at every branch or at a group you choose, and 10% VAT can be charged when the card is sold or when it is redeemed. Exports of gift cards need a permission, so codes stay with the people who should see them.
- Valid at a branch group
- VAT on sale or on redemption
- Export by permission

Questions, answered
Salon gift cards: frequently asked questions
What is the best way to sell salon gift cards in Bahrain?
Use e-gift cards with unique codes, a balance that shows at billing and a clear validity, so every card can be checked and honoured at any branch. DINGG issues, sends and redeems them in one app.
Which salon software has built-in gift card features?
DINGG does: e-gift cards with unique codes, up to 5,000 in one batch, your own designs, sales at the desk, a balance and validity per code, partial use and redemption at the branches you choose.
Do I need an app to sell gift cards?
No. Sell gift cards at the desk; DINGG sends each card to the recipient with its own code, and it's redeemed at checkout. Nobody has an app to download.
Can clients buy gift cards online?
Gift cards are sold at the desk, on the same bill as a visit, and sent to the recipient with their code, value and validity.
Can a gift card be used in parts?
Yes. The balance is kept per code, so a client can use part of the value today and the rest on a later visit.
Can I set an expiry date?
Yes. Each card or batch has the validity you set, and expired codes are refused at checkout.
Can a voucher be for a service rather than an amount?
Yes. Vouchers can be set to apply to the services you choose, such as a Moroccan bath or a blow-dry.
Can I design my own gift cards?
Yes. The template editor lets you design cards with your logo and colours, for Eid, Mother's Day or any other occasion.
Can a gift card be used at any branch?
Yes, at the branches you choose: every branch or a group of branches.
How is VAT handled on gift cards?
Choose whether 10% VAT is charged when the card is sold or when it is redeemed; the gift card tax report shows both.
Can I sell gift cards in bulk to a company?
Yes. Issue up to 5,000 unique codes in one batch, with one value and validity, and each code is checked and redeemed on its own.
Can I see how much gift card value is still unredeemed?
Yes. Each code shows its balance and redemptions, and reports show the cards sold and redeemed.
Does the person who receives a gift card become my client?
Every redemption is billed to a client profile, so the person who received the gift joins your client list, and you can invite her back once she agrees to hear from you.
Can a spa sell gift cards for treatments?
Yes. Spas sell gift cards for massages, facials and packages the same way, and the recipient spends the value at checkout, at the branches you choose.
Can I import gift cards I've already sold?
Yes. Existing gift codes and their balances can be imported, so cards sold on your old system still work.
