Looking to offer a gift card with your business logo and branding to your customers? Cardivo lets you do that in about 3-4 minutes with no technical know-how needed. Just a quick and easy setup and a handy link you can share with customers anywhere so they can buy e-gift cards for your business. Here are the exact steps to offering your own branded gift cards with your business logo.
1. Sign up for a free Cardivo account at cardivo.com or click here.
2. Connect your Stripe account or create a new one (takes under 2 minutes). Stripe will ask for business information based on your country and business type. Stripe is what is used to process the payments for gift cards. It is the world’s best payment processor and very secure.
3. Choose your sales page link, which is the URL where customers can buy your gift cards. You can change this any time.
4. Personalize your gift card designs by adding your business logo, choosing currencies and other customization options. You can also add your own gift card background images or use our default ones.
5. Once you’re ready, Cardivo will generate a link for your gift card sales page. Here’s an example of this link. Share this link with your customers via your site, social media, WhatsApp, or anywhere they are. We recommend running an email campaign to let your existing customers know they can buy a gift card for their friends or family or themselves.
They can easily buy your gift cards using a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay on any device. You can even incentivize gift cards sales more by creating and offering discount codes within the Cardivo interface easily and even set the discounts to apply automatically if you want to offer it to all customers.
Following the above steps will let you offer professional, branded gift cards with your business logo in just a few minutes with no upfront or ongoing fixed cost. We charge just a small 5% transaction fee of each sale and you can even pass this on to the gift card buyer.
If you need help with the set up, just reach out to our friendly team via the chat icon and we’ll help you get up and running. Once your customers buy your gift cards, they can easily be redeemed on your website, or even manually via the dashboard for any scenario.
Why offer gift cards?
Gift cards are increasingly essential for businesses, becoming the top Christmas gift in the U.S. and projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2027. Surveys reveal a preference for gift cards over physical gifts globally and within gift cards, people prefer digital gift cards for their ease of use.
Major brands like Apple, Starbucks, and Airbnb promote their gift cards. They benefit the sender, recipient, and business owner.
Offering gift cards allows existing customers to refer your business, generating new revenue and potentially more from repeat customers. They also purchase gift cards for others, creating a cycle of repeat purchases and referrals.
Gift cards are a lucrative and low-cost way to boost revenue and attract new customers.
Why offer digital / e-gift Cards instead of physical gift cards?
Digital gift cards offer advantages over traditional physical ones. They’re easier to buy and use, making them an excellent last-minute gift. They also enable easy gifting to family and friends anywhere in the country or the world, eliminating the risk of loss, damage, or theft.
As a business owner, digital gift cards simplify the sales process and reduce costs. They eliminate postage, shipping, and physical retail locations, and there’s unlimited inventory so you never run out. You also get more control and tracking over their usage and redemption.
