If you integrate Govalo with Recharge or Bold Subscriptions later on, do not add gift card products created through Govalo to these apps, since gift cards are not meant to offer a subscription option. The integration with Recharge/Bold Subscriptions allows you to add an option to your subscription products so customers can also purchase them as a gift. You can read further about how this works at Getting started with Subscription Gifts.
