# Gift Cards in Medusa Admin

### Prerequisites

- [Loyalty plugin installed](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/commerce-modules/loyalty#1-install-the-loyalty-plugin)

Gift cards are unique codes you issue directly to customers. Each gift card has a currency, an initial value, and an optional expiration date.

Customers can apply the gift card's code at checkout to deduct the gift card's balance from their order total.

Gift cards are different from gift card products. A gift card is a code you issue directly. A gift card product is a storefront item that customers can purchase, which then generates a gift card for them. See the [Gift Card Products](https://docs.medusajs.com/loyalty/gift-card-products) guide to learn more.
