Our verdict on Gift Up!
Gift Up! helps restaurants sell branded digital and physical gift cards through websites and in-store channels. Customers can receive cards by email, print, or postal delivery, while staff can validate and redeem them through the mobile app, web dashboard, or supported point-of-sale integrations. Its feature set suits independent restaurants, multi-location groups, franchises, and larger brands that need gift-card sales and redemption across more than one channel.
Pricing uses transaction fees and prepaid revenue bundles rather than a conventional monthly subscription. The Pay-As-You-Go plan has no monthly fee and no setup fee, with a 3.49% fee per gift card sold. Prepaid options cover $1,000 to $20,000 in revenue, with one-time prices from $34 to $604 and 0% fees per gift card sold after prepayment. This structure can suit restaurants that prefer to avoid recurring charges, while prepaid plans require a clear view of expected gift-card revenue before choosing a bundle.
The strongest fit is a restaurant that needs more than basic online card sales. Gift Up! combines website checkout installation, in-store redemption, partial redemption, balance checking, card scanning, multi-location controls, and sales, redemption, and liability reporting. Integrations include Shopify POS, Square POS terminals, Lightspeed Retail, Lightspeed Restaurant, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Stripe, Eventbrite, and other commerce platforms. REST API access adds room for custom connections. A single-location restaurant with simple requirements may find this breadth unnecessary; operators needing multiple card formats, sales channels, reporting, or POS connectivity should find the platform more suitable.
