Online gift vouchers for restaurants
Sell gift vouchers online from your own page, take the money up front, and let TableGo deliver beautiful digital vouchers by email. Redeem and track every voucher from your dashboard.

Gift vouchers are one of the simplest ways to bring revenue forward. A guest pays today for a meal that might be redeemed weeks or months later — and a good share of voucher value is spent above the voucher amount, or never redeemed at all.
TableGo lets you sell gift vouchers online without a separate gift-card service. Create voucher amounts, sell them through secure Stripe Checkout, and the recipient receives a professional PDF voucher by email instantly. Pro charges 0% TableGo platform fee on voucher sales.
Why sell gift vouchers online
- Cash up front: Take payment now for dining later — useful for cash flow, especially in quieter months.
- Reach new guests: Vouchers are often bought as gifts, bringing brand-new diners through your door.
- Run promotions: Offer deals like 'Pay £70, get £100 credit' to drive seasonal sales.
- Keep it on-brand: Vouchers carry your restaurant name and logo and are sold from your own page.
How gift vouchers work in TableGo
- Create voucher products: Set denominations like £25, £50 or £100 — or promotional pricing where buyers pay less than face value.
- Share your voucher page: Vouchers appear on your TableGo page and via an embeddable widget for your own website.
- Customers buy and gift: Buyers add recipient details and a gift message, pay via Stripe, and the voucher is emailed instantly.
- Redeem in your dashboard: Look up the code and mark it redeemed — fully or partially — with the balance tracked automatically.
Track sales and redemptions
Every voucher has a unique code and a balance that decreases as it's redeemed, so a £100 voucher can be used across multiple visits until it reaches zero.
You can see voucher sales and redemptions in your dashboard, set a configurable expiry period and terms, and keep the whole programme running without any extra software.
Frequently asked questions
How do online gift vouchers work for restaurants?
You create voucher amounts, the customer buys one through Stripe Checkout, and the recipient receives a PDF voucher with a unique code by email. When they visit, you look up the code in your dashboard and mark it redeemed.
Can vouchers be used across multiple visits?
Yes. Each voucher has a balance that decreases as it's redeemed. A £100 voucher can be spent over several visits until the balance reaches zero.
What fees apply to voucher sales?
Stripe charges standard card processing fees. TableGo's platform fee on voucher sales is 3.5% on the free Basic plan and 0% on Pro and Growth. There are no per-cover fees.
Can I run promotional gift voucher offers?
Yes. You can set promotional pricing, for example letting customers pay £70 for £100 of credit — a popular way to boost sales around Christmas and other peak periods.
Do vouchers expire?
Vouchers have a configurable expiry period (12 months by default). Expired vouchers can no longer be redeemed, and the terms are shown to the buyer at checkout.
