This article provides step-by-step instructions for importing gift cards in bulk through the Clients tab in MyTime.

Things to know:

The ability to import gift cards is governed by the "Manage Client Setup" access control setting.
Importing client gift cards allows you to add multiple cards at once.
Each row in the import file must contain one of the following combinations to be processed successfully:
Gift card code, amount, MyTime client ID (or client ID), MyTime location ID (or location ID)
Gift card code, amount, MyTime location ID (or location ID), recipient email, recipient first name, recipient last name
MyTime can import up to 1,000 gift cards at once.
