Adding a gift card/support campaign has a few limitations:
- Businesses must be verified before March 1, 2020.
- Businesses must have a physical storefront.
- Owners, managers, and site managers of the Business Profile can use the posts feature to add gift card and donation links.
This is great visibility for your gift card sales if you can take advantage of it!
