Example Email
Hello {gift-giver},
Thank you for purchasing a '1 Month of Unlimited Yoga with Yoga Studio Namaste' for your friend or loved one!
In order for me to know which account to add the membership to, I will need the gift recipient's first and last name. Please reply back to this email with the recipient’s first and last name. Once they have signed up for Momoyoga, I will add this membership to their account.
When you send the e-gift card to your friend or loved one, please include these instructions so they know how to register for my studio.
To claim your gift card, please register at Yoga Studio Namaste (www.momoyoga.com/youryogastudio/register). Once you’ve registered, please email the studio (email@youryogastudio.com) saying you received a gift card from me so the pass can be added to your account.
Thank you again for your purchase and for helping us spread the gift of yoga.
Assigning the membership to the gift recipient
Once your yogi has purchased the membership on behalf of another person, they will need to email the studio and submit the name associated with the yogi they gifted the membership to. Once that yogi registers for Momoyoga with your studio, you will assign the gifted membership to that yogi.
To assign a product to a yogi:
- Go to Yogis and search for the yogi
- Click on the yogi's profile
- Click Add membership or class pass
- Click on the product you would like to add
To change the payment status of a product:
- Go to Yogis and search for the yogi profile
- Click on yogi's profile
- Click on the pencil icon next to the membership or class pass you would like to edit
- Change the Payment status from No to Yes
- Change Payment method to Gift
- Click Submit
Adjusting the purchased gift card from the gift giver
Once you have added the gift card to the gift recipient, you can adjust the purchased gift card from the gift giver so it is no longer valid.
You can delete the order, however, we would recommend you change the expiry date to the day after the start date. This will "void" the order.
If you delete the order, you will have no trace of the order which you may want for tax purposes.
To adjust the expiry date on the purchased gift card:
- Click Orders
- Click the link under Order for the purchased gift card
- Click Edit order
- Adjust the expiry date
- Click Submit
Now you are set up to sell and distribute gift cards to your yogis. What a great way to share the gift of yoga! Please reach out to us at info@momoyoga.com if you have any questions about this.
