4. Design Gift Template:

Design your template by including a custom header image, logo, and a message for your gift recipients

💡 Reminder to use personalization tokens to include details such as your recipient's first name to the email template each time you send a gift. This ensures each email feels personal to its intended recipient.

8. Check Out:

In they 'Pay' stage of the send a gift workflow, you'll finalize your payment.

📝 Tip: When you pay through Loop & Tie, you pay through Stripe, one of the most common and most secure payment gateways available on the web.

Once you've added a payment method, click 'Pay.' 

⚠️ Clicking pay will complete your purchase; if you chose today as your send date, your gifts will be deployed immediately. If you scheduled them for later, they'll send on the date(s) you picked in the recipient stage. 

And just like that, your gifts are out in the world. Thanks for spreading joy with Loop & Tie
