# How to issue a new Gift Card

So you have chosen to sell gift cards on your store? That's awesome! There are two ways you can create a gift card using Govalo. The first way is by going through the store front to purchase it, and the other way, as a merchant, is to go through our dashboard to create one. This article will talk about the latter.

1.  In the Govalo app, go to the **Gift cards** dashboard and click **Issue a gift card**:

*   Fill the **First name**, **Last name** and **Email** fields with the recipient's details
    
*   For immediate delivery, leave the **Delivery date** set as of today
    
*   If your gift card product has multiple images, use the arrows under the image to select the one to be sent with the gift card issued
    
*   To issue cards in bulk through the **Import via CSV** option, see [How to issue multiple Gift Cards in bulk](/how-to-issue-multiple-gift-cards-in-bulk-via-admin)
    

4.  Next, in the popup that opens, click **Issue gift card** to confirm and finish issuing the gift card:
