GiftFly is a digital gift-card platform for local businesses, including restaurants and other merchants. It is designed for businesses that want to create branded eGift cards, sell them online, and deliver them through email, Facebook, or text. Customers can redeem cards using QR-code scanning, the merchant app, the dashboard, or a Clover terminal. The platform also supports gift-card fundraisers, balance checking, customer email collection, and transaction tracking.

The Free for Merchants plan has no monthly charges and does not require a credit card. It includes unlimited card designs, 5,000 promotional emails, and a sales kit. Core sales and operational tools include online gift-card sales, promotional campaigns, real-time sales and redemption tracking, email analytics, and balance checking. For restaurants and local merchants evaluating gift-card software, the plan keeps the main digital-card workflow available without a recurring subscription charge.

Clover is central to GiftFly's platform fit. Merchants can sell through Clover terminals, connect redemption to Clover, and use QR codes for in-store transactions, while the web and iOS platforms support broader access. The category specifications also identify online and in-person sales channels, POS integration, multi-location support, and gift-card reporting. GiftFly is a strong fit for Clover merchants that want digital cards, online availability, promotional tools, and tracking in one offering. Businesses that require physical gift cards or a POS connection beyond Clover should consider whether its digital format and listed integration match their operating setup.
