01
Begin with the merchant promise
The store explains the qualifying purchase, campaign period, important exclusions, and what happens after an order. A prepaid card may be considered for a product promotion or post-purchase benefit, but the exact arrangement needs to support the promised customer experience.
02
Follow the responsibilities, not just the messages
The sequence below is a planning map. The actual steps, available card features, and timing depend on the program.
- The merchant defines the Shopify offer and purchase conditions.
- The relevant purchase is assessed under those conditions.
- The responsible parties act on the eligibility outcome.
- The recipient receives the applicable access information and card terms.
- Order questions and card questions reach the appropriate support owner.
03
Keep activity and completion distinct
A received order is not an eligibility decision. A decision is not proof of recipient access, and a sent message is not evidence that a customer used a card. Clear status explanations help the team and customer know what remains to happen.
