[New] Send eGift Cards via text messages

Hi Sellers, 🌟

 

Your customers can now send eGift Cards to recipients via text message, in addition to email. When your customers purchase an eGift Card, they will now have the option to send the Gift Card to the recipient via email or text message.

Text messages typically see higher open and click rates than email, so sending eGift Cards via text is a great way to help recipients keep track of their eGift Card. 


You can turn off this functionality in the Gift Card Settings page in the POS or Dashboard

Our customers will really appreciate this going into the Holiday season. Thanks! 

Awesome! So glad this is available 😉

How much are the cards for our business to order.

This is so cool. Do you know when this might be available in the UK as I would love to offer our customers this, especially that looking for last minute gifts or on a time constrained present delivery...we have all been there 😊

Hi @2Sister2, great question! Physical Gift Card prices range by type of card and quantity ordered, and you can find more information on our pricing page. Thanks for reaching out. 😊

Hi @phillipsrw, thank you for the comment! While eGift Cards are currently available in the UK, we're still working on the ability to send them via text. We have this roughly slated to roll out to our UK sellers in the first half of 2025, but that is a rough estimate. Make sure to stay subscribed to UK Product Updates for the official update when that is announced! Thanks again for the note. 😊

This is going to be a great feature (sending text) for this holiday season.  Being able to go straight to a customer's phone is priceless.  Usually I have to look it back up and resend to them because they will say they didn't receive it 🙂

Great for the holiday season.
