Gift Certificates and Prepaid Bookings for Makeup Artists

Make it easy for clients to say “you deserve this” and even easier for them to book it.

With gift certificates and prepaid bookings, makeup artists can sell services in advance, offer flexible gift options, and keep checkout simple. Clients can buy for themselves, gift a glam session to someone else, or redeem their balance later at checkout. Gift certificates can be set up with fixed values, custom amounts, delivery options, and expiration rules, and they can be redeemed toward appointments, add-ons, packages, and other paid items on a form.

Sell Beauty Services Before the Appointment

Prepaid offers are a smart fit for makeup artists who want smoother bookings and steadier revenue.

Use them to:

• Sell giftable services for birthdays, weddings, holidays, and thank-you surprises
• Offer set values or service-specific amounts that match your makeup appointments
• Let clients choose a custom amount when they want flexibility
• Encourage commitment before the appointment date
• Create a polished, professional buying experience

Many businesses match gift certificate values to their event types, which makes it especially clear what the purchase covers.

Give Clients Flexible Ways to Buy

Clients can purchase gift certificates through any form that includes a gift certificate block. From there, they can:

• Preview certificate designs
• Choose from available values
• Enter a custom amount if you allow it
• Add the recipient’s name and email
• Include a personal message
• Pick how the certificate is delivered

Delivery can be delightfully low-maintenance too:

• Deliver it themselves
• Send it by email right away
• Schedule it to send later automatically

That means less back-and-forth for you, and more “wow, this was easy” for them.

Turn Prepaid Bookings Into a Smoother Workflow

Prepaid booking options help reduce hesitation and simplify the path from interest to confirmed appointment.

Gift certificates can be redeemed during checkout using the code on the certificate, and any remaining balance stays available for later use. They can be applied toward:

• Appointments
• Add-ons
• Packages
• Subscriptions, if enabled
• Any paid block on a form

For makeup artists, that opens the door to practical offers like:

• Bridal trial + wedding day bundles
• Special-event makeup packages
• Prepaid party or group glam bookings
• Seasonal promotions with coupon support

If you also want to run promotions, coupon codes can be set up as percent or fixed discounts, with usage limits and expiration options.

Stay Organized Behind the Scenes

Once gift certificates are purchased, you can manage them in one place. The dashboard shows key details like:

• Certificate code
• Purchaser
• Recipient
• Original amount
• Remaining balance
• Expiration status

You can also open a certificate to:

• Adjust values
• Re-send delivery emails
• View activity
• Delete the certificate if needed

And if you want visibility into performance, reports can include gift certificates, balances, payments, and invoice-related data.

Set It Up Your Way

Gift certificate options are controlled inside the form, so you can tailor the experience to fit your brand and booking flow. Each form can have its own:

• Display label
• Expiration rules
• Background images
• Allowed values
• Custom amount permissions
• Delivery options

That gives makeup artists room to keep things simple, stylish, and perfectly on-brand.
