Gift Cards
Digital gift cards that keep giving
Issue gift cards for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with live balances, instant updates and ongoing customer engagement. Smartix gift cards are easy to give, simple to redeem and stay visible long after purchase.
Choose the approach that suits your business
Every business handles gift cards differently, which is why Smartix supports two approaches.
Custom Gift Card Passes provide a flexible digital wallet pass that works with your existing gift card platform, barcode format and operational processes. Smartix provides the pass itself, while you remain in complete control of balances, redemptions and customer interactions.
Managed Gift Cards provide a complete stored-value platform. Smartix Studio, Smartix Scan and the Smartix cloud platform work together to issue cards, manage balances, process redemptions, handle top-ups and keep gift cards updated without requiring you to build your own operational infrastructure.
Whether you already operate a gift card programme or want to launch one from scratch, Smartix gives you the flexibility to choose the approach that best fits your business.
More than stored value
A traditional gift card is usually used once, forgotten or thrown away. A Smartix gift card remains in the customer's wallet, showing a live balance while giving your business a continuing way to communicate.
Update balances instantly, send reminders before value expires, add promotional credit, share seasonal offers or encourage customers back after their first visit. The gift card becomes more than a payment instrument. It becomes a reason to return.
A closer look
Designed around your business
A restaurant might sell digital gift cards for birthdays and celebrations, while a boutique retailer could offer personalised gift credit that remains visible until it is used. A spa could combine a gift card with treatment reminders and seasonal packages, while an online store might deliver a wallet-ready gift card instantly after purchase.
Because Smartix gift cards remain live after they have been issued, they can continue to support the customer relationship. Add bonus value during a promotion, remind customers about unused balances or follow up with a thoughtful offer after redemption.
Apple
Start simple. Grow over time.
Launch a simple digital gift card in minutes, then expand your programme whenever you're ready. Start with live balances and basic redemption, introduce promotional credit, connect gift cards to Shopify, automate fulfilment through your own systems or use Managed Gift Cards with the Smartix Scan app.
Your customers continue using the same familiar wallet pass while your gift card programme grows behind the scenes.
