Gift cards

Sell gift cards
that arrive
by email.

Add digital gift cards to your shop as a product, in the amounts you choose. The buyer adds the recipient’s email and a message, the card is emailed when they pay, and whatever isn’t spent stays on the card for next time.

Every card in one list

Balance, status and expiry for each

Gift cards on every plan
  • On every plan
  • Nothing on top of the card rate
  • Sold in your shop or issued by hand
  • Codes with no look-alike characters

Two ways to hand one out.

Customers buy a gift card like any other product: one card per unit, emailed when the payment clears.

Jumps to that route

Issued and emailed on payment

One card for every one sold

In your shop

Customers buy them like any other product.

Gift Card is a product type. Create one, add the amounts, and it sits in your catalogue with a page of its own.

Set the amounts

Each amount is a variant, so £25, £50 and £100 are three buttons on the page. Add or remove one whenever you like.

They add the recipient

Recipient email, an optional name, and a message of up to 1,000 characters, all on the product page before it goes in the basket.

Issued on payment

One card per unit, each worth the amount chosen, created and emailed the moment the payment succeeds.

Nothing to count

Gift cards are never stock-tracked and never ship, so they cannot go out of stock or add a delivery charge.

Balances that carry over

One code, spent over several orders

The recipient’s side

An email with a code, and a balance that lasts.

The Gift Card Received email goes out in your store’s branding, one of the templates you can edit.

The note comes with it

The email carries the code and the buyer’s message, word for word.

A code that’s hard to mistype

Sixteen characters in four groups, with no I, O, 0 or 1, so nobody reads a letter as a number.

Spend it over several orders

When the balance covers the order, the code pays for it at checkout. Whatever is left stays on the card for the next one.

Alongside a discount code

A gift card and a discount code can go on the same order: the discount first, then the card against what’s left.

Runs without you

The gift card admin that looks after itself.

Six things that happen without anyone in the dashboard.

Issued on payment

The card is created and emailed when the order’s payment succeeds. Nobody types a code.

Expiry on the date you set

A job checks every five minutes and marks any card past its date as Expired. Leave the date blank and the card never expires.

Depleted at zero

A card that has been spent to nothing moves to Depleted on its own and stops working at checkout.

A line per order

Every redemption is recorded against the card, so the balance and the history always agree.

Masked codes

The list shows the first two groups of a code and hides the rest, so a screen seen over someone’s shoulder does not give the card away.

Expiring soon, counted

The Expiring Soon tile counts active cards due to expire within 30 days.

From the dashboard

Issue one by hand when you need to.

Goodwill after a late delivery, a raffle prize, a leaving present: the Issue gift card form takes an amount, a recipient, a message and an optional expiry.

Issue gift card

Any amount, any note.

Amount, recipient email and name, a personal message and an expiry date if you want one. The card lands at the top of the list as Active and the tiles tick up.

  • Amount
  • Recipient
  • Personal message
  • Expiration
  • Active on issue

At checkout

Code in, order paid.

The shopper enters the code in the Order summary, the card shows with its balance, and the amount due drops to £0.00 when the card covers the order. Remove it with one click if they change their mind.

  • Code field in the Order summary
  • Balance shown
  • Remove with one click

Statuses

Four, and each says why.

Active cards redeem. Inactive ones are switched off by you and can be switched back on. Expired and Depleted cards are set by the system, when the date passes or the balance runs out.

  • Active
  • Inactive
  • Expired
  • Depleted

Code

16 characters, 4 groups.

Made from 32 characters with the look-alikes removed, unique within your store, masked in the list.

  • No I, O, 0 or 1
  • Unique per store
  • Masked in the list

Currency

One per card.

A card is in one currency, your store’s currency by default, and it pays for orders in that currency.

  • One currency per card
  • Store currency by default

API and checkout

Issue and void from your own systems.

The public API lists cards, reads one with its transactions, issues a card and voids one, each on its own scope. The storefront checks a code’s balance at checkout, rate-limited against guessing.

  • gift-card:list
  • gift-card:read
  • gift-card:issue
  • gift-card:void
  • Balance check at checkout

Four tiles

What the list adds up.

Total Issued is a count of cards. Outstanding Balance is the unspent value on them. Total Redeemed is what has been spent back into the shop. Expiring Soon counts active cards due within 30 days.

  • Total Issued (count)
  • Outstanding Balance
  • Total Redeemed
  • Expiring Soon (30 days)

The list searches by code or recipient email and sorts by created date, balance, code or expiry.
