Gift Card Hero, the Shopify gift card app Gift cards that sell twice.

Gift Card Hero is a Shopify app by Syncube for selling eGift and physical gift cards, online, in Shopify POS and next to any other register. It also includes Growth: 20 ready-made rewards paid as gift card balance. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and is rated 4.9 from 180 reviews on the Shopify App Store.

Yes. Gift Hero POS is a web app that runs on any phone or tablet next to your register. Staff check, redeem, sell and activate Shopify gift cards there, then take what's left on the register as a normal payment. It doesn't connect to the register itself, and it needs an internet connection.

If you only need a plain digital card, Shopify's built-in gift cards may be enough. Gift Card Hero adds your own designs in the buying flow, delivery at a chosen date and time, video greetings, reloads at POS and rewards. We compare both in built-in gift cards vs an app.

Yes. Shopify's default limit is $2,000 per card. Gift Card Hero can raise it to $10,000 or the equivalent in your currency, for reloads, for cards issued in the admin and for CSV imports, and you can set it back at any time.

Yes. Turn on redemption notifications and the card holder, the buyer or both hear what was spent, what's left and at which branch. They cover purchases online and in Shopify POS, not redemptions in Gift Hero POS. You can also hand them to your own Klaviyo flow.

Turn on Spend goal reward and pick the amount: by default, an order of $100 or more earns $10. The reward goes to the customer's rewards balance rather than a separate gift card, and a goal meter can show shoppers how close they are.

No points. Rewards are money on a balance: a customer sees $10 and spends it in your store. In the app, Loyalty is only one goal, and it means customer tiers.

A discount lowers the price of this order. A reward keeps the price and adds balance for a later order, so it costs you when the customer comes back and spends it.

Free to install, then 2% of gift card value with a $9.99 minimum and $49.99 maximum a month. PRO is $19.99 a month, and Shopify Plus stores pay $39.99. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and includes Growth. There are no per-order fees and no extra app fee for issuing rewards; you pay for the rewards your customers spend.pricing

Every mechanic starts with a monthly budget of 500 in your store's currency, and a workflow that reaches it pauses itself and emails you. You can also set a monthly cap for the whole store and a cap per customer; both are off until you turn them on. Active mechanics add up, so one order can earn from several.

By default, the reward is taken back in proportion to the refunded amount, and a balance never goes below zero. Rewards a customer has already spent can't be taken back, and sign-up and birthday bonuses aren't reversed. You can turn this off.

Rewards are spent like a gift card, in the gift card field at checkout, so they follow the same rules as any Shopify gift card.

Each customer has one rewards balance. They copy their code from the Rewards tab in their account and enter it at checkout, like a gift card. The balance isn't applied automatically, and orders placed without a customer account don't earn rewards.

The balance sits on a normal Shopify gift card, so customers can spend it at Shopify POS with their code or the QR code in their account.

Yes. Gift Card Hero issues native Shopify gift cards, so cards stay valid if you uninstall. The app's widgets, emails and the Rewards tab go away with it.

It works through a Shopify theme app extension, so it fits your existing theme without editing theme code. You choose the designs and can add your own CSS.

Growth shows revenue from orders that used rewards and the cash customers paid on top. Storefront promotions can be measured against a control group from 300 paid orders in 30 days. It doesn't report average order value or repeat rate, and none of these figures are profit.
