These gift cards are branded, so new customers can be introduced to you quickly. And customers can even use the gift cards across multiple platforms including on your Shopify store and in-store.

These rules can be set by you, so the system only generates and distributes them when the rules are met.

One of the major pain points for digital gift cards is ensuring that the recipient gets them at the right time. Sometimes people forget to print and forward on the details on time because they’ve bought it well in advance or they send it so far in advance that the gift card is forgotten about. This is where this app comes in. It allows for the buyer to schedule when the recipient will get the gift from them.

It works simply by forwarding a message to the purchaser. In that message is a link where they can enter the email address of the recipient and then select the date and time which they should receive the gift card. This can be any time within the next 365 days. Then everything is done for the purchaser. The gift card will be sent at this time.

The gift card can be sent at any quarter hour, in any time zone. Plus, if the recipient doesn’t want to use the gift card (or loses the initial email), the purchaser can still redeem the money through the original email. And if the gift card is a last minute purchase, then the card can be sent immediately.
