To activate the store views and manage the code pool mode, the Gift Card configuration can set the default settings for all gift cards. The code pool is a unique gift card code placed in a specific format. This code pool is used every time a created gift card.

The responsibility of the administrator is to ensure that there are sufficient codes for the gift card sales. Be sure to create the area code before issuing the gift cards for sale. By default, Magento can create 1,000 codes. A new pool is not built until there are no codes that are available in the current pool.
