Physical Gift Cards in Australia

[LiamHammersley]

Hi all,

I am working with a new client in setting up their Shopify store and we are wanting to sell physical gift cards as well as a digital one. I know Shopify offer their own cards, which would be the ideal solution, but it looks like we cannot get access to them in Australia for some reason. Is there another solution that people have used before to either get the Shopify ones or an alternative that will be easy to use and maintain?

Thanks!

Hi @LiamHammersley,

Nick here from Shopify. 

The physical gift cards aren't available in Australia but only the USA, Canada, UK, and Ireland. It would also have the following requirements: 

• Your store needs to be on the Shopify plan or higher.
• You need to enable physical gift cards in Shopify POS

You can see this in the helpful guide Shopify has for this here as well as the screenshot highlighting these aspects from the guide below:

The only other way you would be able to sell gift cards would be through third party gift cards. Shopify has a helpful guide for selling gift cards via third party's here which you might find useful 

Hope this helps and answers your question! 

All the best, Nick

Shopify has not been helpful in answering this.
