Advertisement Banner Code
This option allows you to earn some money from your gift application. You can submit your fb:iframe banner advertisement code in this box to have your ad shown at the bottom of your application.

Information on Coins, Cost of Gifts, and Unlock Cost
Users receive 100 coins daily per application they visit created with Gift Generator. Their total coin balance is available for use on all applications. Users can send 10+ gifts a day. You will want to make the cost of your gifts affordable to maximize the amount of gifts that can be sent to help increase your users. Recipients of gifts also receive coins upon accepting the gift equal to 25% of the cost of the gift received.

Unlock Cost. The value entered in this field equals the amount of coins a user must have spent to unlock that gift. If you set the value to 500, then a user must have spent 500 coins to unlock the ability to send that gift. This can be accomplished by sending 50 gifts that cost 10 coins, 1 gift that costs 500, or by sending any variation of gifts totaling to a cost of 500 coins.




You have now setup categories and gifts for your gift application. Repeat the steps of adding categories and gifts until you are done.

Once ready you can click My Applications button at the top menu and click the Visit App button to view your application.

Congratulations! You have created your very own gift application on Facebook and can start sending gifts to your friends.
