GIFT CARDS
Sell the trip as a gift — and own the sale.
A guided trip is the gift a spouse, a dad, or a buddy actually wants. Timber & Tackle lets you sell branded gift certificates straight from your site — the money comes to your account, and it redeems against a booking.
Gift cards are found money for a guide — a sale today for a trip that gets booked later, often by someone new to you. But most guides can't sell them without a clunky workaround, and the marketplaces that can take their cut of a gift the buyer meant entirely for you.
Timber & Tackle builds gift cards into your own site. A buyer purchases a branded gift certificate, the payment goes to your Stripe account, and they get a printable certificate with a code. The recipient redeems it against a booking, and the amount comes off the trip. Your gift, your money, your new client.
Sell trips before they're booked
A gift certificate is revenue today for a trip taken later — and often brings you a brand-new client the recipient becomes.
Give a gift that fits your brand
A branded, printable certificate with your name and your look — not a generic code that looks like an afterthought.
Keep the whole sale
The money goes to your own account with no commission taken out. A gift meant for you arrives whole.
Redeem it cleanly at booking
The recipient books a trip and the certificate comes off the total automatically — no manual tracking, no awkward math.

They get a certificate
A branded, printable gift certificate with a code goes out — ready to hand over or email.

The recipient redeems it
They book a trip, enter the code, and the amount comes off the total. A new client, a booked trip, a sale you kept whole.
Why it matters
Gift cards are one of the few ways to sell a trip before you guide it — cash flow in the off-season and a pipeline of new clients the recipients become. For a premium guide, they're a natural fit: a trip is exactly the gift a serious outdoorsman wants.
Selling them from your own site, with the money to your account, keeps a gift meant for you from becoming a cut for a middleman. It's your brand on the certificate and your relationship with the new client.
Straight answers.
Where does the gift-card money go?
To your own connected Stripe account, whole — no commission taken out. The only cost is the standard card fee.
What does the buyer get?
A branded, printable gift certificate with your name and a redemption code — ready to print or email to the recipient.
How does redemption work?
The recipient books a trip on your site and enters the code; the gift-card amount comes off the total automatically.
Is this really native, not a workaround?
Yes — gift cards are built into your site and your booking, not a third-party add-on that takes a cut.
