When a gift certificate is redeemed, the shopper will enter it in the store's coupon code field. This can be done in either the View Cart Page or during the checkout process. The store will then place the Gift Certificate's amount towards their final purchase. If a balance is left over, their certificate will still be good until the remaining amount is used up on subsequent orders.
