Cardivo is an easy to use platform that lets you offer your own branded egift cards to your customers – just like the biggest brands do. Gift cards are an excellent way to increase revenue from existing customers while also driving more sales from new customers.
Cardivo makes it very simple to set up and offer your own digital gift cards with no code or technical know-how needed. You don't even need a website to offer Cardivo gift cards as you get your own branded purchase link you can share with customers.
Once you've signed up, you just need to configure a few gift card settings (which you can change any time), add your logo and brand color, and you're ready to go! There is no cost to use Cardivo unless you make a sale.
When you sell a gift card through Cardivo, we charge a small 5% fee. You can even choose to cover this by adding a surcharge to gift card buyers.
Setup
Setting up Cardivo only takes a few minutes - here is an overview - access detailed step-by-step instructions here:
Connect your existing Stripe account or create a new account
Click on the Connect my stripe account button
Now you will see a Stripe hosted page – enter your email and connect your existing Stripe account, or create a new one.
Choose your company's gift card purchase page link (you can change this later) – this is the link where people will be able to buy your company's gift cards
Configure a few settings re: your gift card offer, upload your logo, choose a brand color, and you're ready to go.
Now share your gift card purchase link with your customers via email, socials and anywhere else they are – we recommend adding a banner on your marketing site too. The more often you share and promote gift cards, the more likely your customers are to buy a gift card for their friends and family.
