Using the Gift Card Block on Your PhotoBiz Website
Gift cards are a fantastic way to increase sales and encourage repeat business through your Client Galleries and ECommerce store. This guide will walk you through how to add and customize a Gift Card block on your website using the PhotoBiz Website Builder.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- Gift cards can be used to purchase items from your website or client galleries.
- No sales tax is charged when a client buys a gift card.
- Sales tax is only applied when the gift card is used, based on the subtotal before the gift card is applied.
STEP ONE
Log In to Your Account
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on WEBSITE in the left-hand menu.
STEP TWO
Add a Gift Card Block to a Page
Go to the page where you’d like to add a gift card block, or create a new page.
You have two ways to add the block:
- Quick Add: Click the Gift Card icon on the right side of your screen to add it to the bottom of your page.
- Drag and Drop: Hover over the Gift Card icon, click and hold it, then drag it to where you want it on the page. When you see a teal line appear, release the mouse to drop it in place. You can always move it later by dragging it up or down.
STEP THREE
Choose a Block Style
Select how you want your Gift Card block to look:
-
Blank Block: Start with a clean layout and use your site’s global styling.
-
Pre-Designed Block: Choose from ready-made layouts with custom designs.
Click Select under your preferred design to add it to your page.
STEP FOUR
Set Up Gift Card Options
Click the Manage Gift Cards button in the block settings to customize how your gift cards are sold.
You can choose between two formats:
-
Range: Let customers choose any amount between a minimum and maximum value.
-
Increments: Let customers choose only from specific amounts you define (e.g., $25, $50, $100).
Customizing the Look of Your Gift Card Block
STYLING
Control the spacing and layout of the block. By default, it uses your global site settings — but you can customize it here:
- Space Below Blocks: Adjust the space below the block.
- Space Inside Blocks: Adjust padding at the top and bottom of the block.
COLORS
Customize the look and feel of your Gift Card block by choosing your own colors. These settings override your global site colors.
You can update:

- Background Color
- Icon Color
Click on a color square or enter a HEX code. A flag icon will show for any customized color.
Click Save Changes at the bottom to apply your updates.
BACKGROUND
Want a background image behind your gift card block? You can:
- Upload your own custom background
- Choose one from the Background Library
Then select how the image displays:
- Tile – Repeats the image
- Top Left – Aligns the image to the top left
- Centered – Centers the image in the space
- Cover – Scales the image to fill the entire background
Click Save Changes to apply your background settings.
FONTS
Customize the fonts used in the Gift Card block without affecting your entire website.
You can adjust:
- Text Font

Change the font, size, spacing (kerning), and line height.
