How Unigift Enterprise works
The gift card is purchased with an open or fixed amount either in the online shop or in a brick‑and‑mortar store.
The virtual gift card is delivered to the recipient by email (PDF), mobile code (text message), or directly into a mobile app (barcode / QR code).
The end customer pays for their purchase with the gift card, either online or in store.
Clearing and reconciliation reports are automatically delivered to the accounting system.
Integrations are available for POS systems, online stores, mobile applications and BI tools.
The end customer can check their gift card balance in the online service (web).
Frequently asked questions about gift cards for businesses
How does a corporate gift card system work in practice?
The company defines the gift card values, design, and sales channels (online shop, in‑store, or both). Customers purchase a gift card, which is delivered either as a physical card or as a digital version. Gift card usage is recorded in the system in real time, and the company can see sales, balances and redemptions from a single dashboard.
2. Are integrations required for selling gift cards?
Not always.
For Unigift Basic and Pro, they are not necessary.
Small and medium‑sized businesses can use the lightweight Unigift solution, which works without integrations.
Larger companies with extensive store networks or e‑commerce operations benefit from integrations with POS, online store or ERP. Read more about the Unigift Enterprise gift card here.
3. Can gift cards be sold both online and in-store?
Yes.
The Unigift Enterprise gift card platform supports all channels: online store, POS, mobile and QR codes. Unigift Basic and Pro work in the same way, excluding QR codes.
A customer can buy a card online and use it in a physical store – or the other way around.
This omnichannel capability is one of the main reasons why companies upgrade from legacy systems to modern platforms.
4. What does selling gift cards cost a business?
It depends on the solution you choose.
- Unigift Basic: no monthly fee, only 3€ + VAT per gift card sold
- Unigift Pro: monthly fee 49€/month + 2€ per gift card sold + VAT
- Unigift Enterprise: monthly fee from 599€/month + 0.80€ per gift card sold + VAT
Most importantly, gift card sales are almost always a source of revenue rather than an expense, and typically 10–15% of gift cards go unused.
