  1. Step 1

    Create your gift cards

    Add your logo, choose a design and set the amounts you want to sell, like $25, $50, $100 and $200.

  2. Step 2

    Share your storefront

    Customers buy at your own page, giftcards.co.nz/g/your-business, and send gifts by email — now or on a date they choose.

  3. Step 3

    Redeem in seconds

    Staff scan the QR code or type the code on any phone. Use part of the balance today and the rest next time.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Redeem on the devices you already own

Staff sign in on a phone, tablet or computer and scan the card's QR code with the camera. Partial redemptions, remaining balances and receipts are handled for you. If the purchase is more than the balance, we show exactly how much to collect another way.

NZ gift card rules built in

The three-year minimum expiry and on-card disclosure are applied automatically.

Balances you can trust

Every redemption is recorded in a permanent ledger. A card can never be spent twice.

Scheduled gifting

Buyers can schedule delivery for a birthday morning, with a personal message.

Staff roles

Give counter staff redeem-only access and your accountant read-only reports.

Reporting your accountant will like

Questions, answered

Do I need special hardware or a POS integration?

No. Staff redeem gift cards in a web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Giftcards.co.nz does not update your point-of-sale system — you record the sale in your POS as usual, and use the gift card balance as the payment.

Who receives the money when a customer buys a gift card?

You do. Payments are processed by Stripe and paid out to your own Stripe account. Your business is the issuer of the gift card and remains responsible for honouring it.

How do expiry dates work in New Zealand?

Under the Fair Trading Act, most gift cards sold to consumers from 16 March 2026 must be valid for at least three years from the date of sale, and the expiry must be shown on the card. Giftcards.co.nz enforces the minimum, calculates the date at the moment of sale and shows it on every card and email. You can also choose no expiry date.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You stop selling new gift cards, but every card your customers already bought can still be checked and redeemed. We never delete gift card balances or redemption history because a subscription ends.

Can customers buy without creating an account?

Yes. Buyers check out as guests and recipients get a secure link by email — no sign-up needed.

Is there a Shopify app?

Not yet. A Shopify app is in development and isn't available to install. Giftcards.co.nz works today as your own branded gift card storefront, alongside any website or shop system.
