How to configure offers to sell subscription gift cards

Difference between subscription gift cards and subscription gifts

Subscription Gift Card example 

With a subscription gift card, the purchaser receives a gift code, which they can then provide to the recipient. The recipient then needs to redeem their gift card to activate their subscription. A good example of this is Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/redeem. 

Subscription gift card works well for digital services - it allows for the gift recipient to create an account as part of redeeming their gift card. It also minimises the purchasing friction, as the purchaser does not need to provide any details about the recipient. Finally, it can also work well with physical deliveries which allow for personalisation, as the gift recipient can login post-redemption and customise their box.

Subscription Gift example 

With a subscription gift, the purchaser provides the recipient's information, such as name, delivery address and optionally delivery date, then the purchaser will receive a confirmation email. The recipient will not receive anything and does not have to do anything, as they will automatically receive their delivery on the selected date. A good example of this is the Economist: https://subscription.economist.com/

Subscription gift works well for physical subscriptions - where it is desirable for the gift recipient to have no step to take.
