What are SumUp Gift Cards?
SumUp Gift Cards are digital gift cards that customers can purchase online. As long as you have a SumUp account you can activate Gift Cards in the SumUp App, there’s no additional setup required. Gift cards can be purchased at any price and redeemed with your business later on. Currently, there are no expiration dates for SumUp Gift Cards.
How do SumUp Gift Cards work?
Using the SumUp App you can generate a Gift Card link that can be sent to customers for them to purchase a gift card. After purchase, customers will receive an email with the gift card details and a code, which can be redeemed with your business later on. You can view all sold gift cards on the overview Gift Cards page in your SumUp App.
After clicking on your gift card link, customers will have to follow these steps to purchase their gift card:
Enter the amount of the gift card
Input their name and email address
Agree to SumUp’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy
Tap on “Continue” to proceed to the secure payments gateway
Enter in their payment details
Select “Pay”
Once processed, a confirmation message will appear on the screen
The customer will receive their gift card directly to their email
In addition, SumUp offers free customization tools for your gift cards, from setting preset gift card amounts, applying discounts, and selecting designs your customers can choose from. To access customization features, simply tap the gear icon from the main “Gift Cards” page through the SumUp App.
How much do SumUp Gift Cards cost?
Thanks to our commitment to transparent pricing, you only pay 3.25% of the total gift card amount + $0.15 on every gift card purchase. No monthly fees, no hidden costs.
Are SumUp Gift Cards secure?
Absolutely — all SumUp Gift Card pages use the same secure technology as the rest of the SumUp payment infrastructure.
How can I share gift cards with my customers?
