Create and Accept Gift Cards with Card9
Lets face it, every online store owner wants to be able to offer gift cards for sale or use them as a promotional tool. In fact, our guess is that you wouldn't even be here reading this if you weren't one of them. Gift cards are better than coupons, they improve online sales, and best of all people like them!You want to be able to create plastic gift cards to sell in your store or give away as a promotional tool, or maybe you just want to be able to make virtual gift cards, where the system generates a card number and emails it to someone. But you don't want to opt for a PrePaid VISA or other credit-card-backed gift card, where you have to commit to a large quantity of cards and put up the money for the face value of the card and run the risk that the customer who buys it from you will charge back their purchase. We have a better way.
What makes Card9 Different
- No real money is ever exchanged - create gift cards with virtual balances and authenticate them through our site (details).
- Can fully integrate with any shopping cart via our API.
- Full color card printing - your gift cards will look and feel just like the cards the big retailers use.
- You supply the entire "front of the card" artwork, not just a logo.
- Standard credit-card size and thickness
- Automated card generation - You create a batch of cards in our system with the balance you want loaded, upload a JPEG of your front artwork, and within 48 hours we'll ship them to your door.
- Affordable at $1.25 per plastic card for free users, $1.00 per card for subscribers.
- Minimum order is only 25 cards.
- Unlike VISA-backed gift cards, Card9 cards you create only work in YOUR store - nowhere else.
Virtual Gift Cards are 100% free!
- Virtual Gift Cards work just like our standard cards, the only differences are (1) we don't print them, and (2) there is no minimum order so you can generate cards one at at time! The system generates the card numbers and maintains their balance and transaction history, and supports them in our API. After you generate virtual cards you can download a list to distribute them electronically.
Some tech-savy customers have even used the API to automatically generate a virtual gift card every time a customer buys something from their store - it's a great way to keep them coming back!
