If so, why? The social media giant wants to help other businesses sell more things. This is why, on August 12th, it will stop selling gift cards to businesses. While no layoffs are planned, the team behind Facebook Gifts is being reassigned to other initiatives to promote commerce. These include Buy buttons for ecommerce purchases made within Facebook, Auto-Fill for auto-populating billing information in other shopping apps, and Custom Audiences.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_still_send_a_gift_card_via_Facebook\"><\/span>Can you still send a gift card via Facebook?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Can you still send a gift card via social networking service Facebook? Yes, you can, with the help of a few easy steps. First of all, you should know that gift cards on Facebook are not yet integrated with all major companies. This is due to the fact that Facebook hasn&#8217;t activated the feature for all users yet. If you want to send a gift card, you should purchase it through one of the companies&#8217; partners on Facebook or use the Facebook integrations.<\/p>\n<p>Then, once you&#8217;ve made the purchase, you can either send the gift card or cancel it. If you choose to do that, make sure you have the recipient&#8217;s email address. You&#8217;ll receive a confirmation email for your order, usually within 24 hours. If you&#8217;re unhappy with your purchase, Facebook will give you 30 minutes to cancel it, but after that, you&#8217;re stuck with the card!<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to add a message or note to your gift. After choosing the gift, you&#8217;ll need to enter the amount and message. You can add a message, such as &#8216;congratulations&#8217;, &#8220;best wishes&#8221;, or &#8220;Holiday greetings,&#8221; if you want. To send a gift card on Facebook, you&#8217;ll need to login to Facebook. Click on the gear icon in the top right hand corner and then choose Gift Card.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_you_be_able_to_sell_them_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Will you be able to sell them on Instagram?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in selling Facebook gift cards on Instagram is to create a business account and set up a product catalog. Then, add the gift cards to your catalog as a product and enable shopping. Once your products are published, you can start adding captions and other details to draw attention to your gift card products. To get started, visit Instagram&#8217;s website. Follow the steps outlined below to sell gift cards on the social network.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses have already started to use these tools to increase their reach and customer base. If you&#8217;re selling a gift card to a local store, you could offer a 5% discount, for instance, to people who purchase it through Instagram. For movie theaters, you could offer a special promotion or call on your local community for support. This new feature is now available in the US and Canada, and it&#8217;s scheduled to roll out globally in a few weeks. The fundraising integration is coming shortly, so keep an eye out for it!<\/p>\n<p>The new stickers will help businesses connect with their audiences online and improve sales. Stories last for 24 hours, so make sure to use them frequently. Ensure that your followers are aware of your action buttons by mentioning them repeatedly in multiple feed posts. The more familiar your audience becomes with your stickers, the more likely they&#8217;ll be to make purchases with them. While the newest version of Instagram may not offer the functionality that Facebook gift cards offer, it will help businesses and marketers who are willing to embrace these changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_you_be_able_to_redeem_them_on_a_participating_app_or_game\"><\/span>Will you be able to redeem them on a participating app or game?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Will you be able to redeem your Google Play Points on participating games or apps? This depends on the app. Some offer in-game rewards, while others are limited to Play Credit. Before you begin redeeming your points, be sure to read the Terms of Use. These Terms include Sweepstakes Rules, Privacy Policies, and any game or promotion-specific terms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iB_jDND-nqE\" width=\"386\" height=\"216\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are Facebook Gift Cards Discontinued?
