Delayed Gift Card Delivery?

Shopify Apps

We want to have a bonus gift card delivered after a certain date, based on a purchase made.

I understand that there are apps now that can allow the customer to schedule a gift card but is there an app that would allow us to set the scheduled delivery of the Gift Card from within admin and/or Flow?

Hi @RSL_IT

Use apps like Rise.ai or Gift Cards by Shopkeeper Tools for scheduling gift cards and automating delivery. Shopify Flow can trigger workflows based on purchase conditions and dates, integrating with apps like Rise.ai for seamless scheduling and admin control.

I’m looking at both of those, however while Rise.ai is available to Flow, it doesn’t seem to have the ability to generate a gift card from a Gift Card product. Shopkeeper Gift Cards doesn’t even show up in Flow. I’m kind of rolling my own at this point – using MESA to create log to a Google sheet and create a draft order for each bonus card. When the time comes to send out the cards, I’ll run a MESA flow against the spreadsheet and complete all the bonus orders.

From what I researched, neither are really designed to leverage the Gift Card products and less to customize how they are delivered.

1. Gift Card Pro by Gist

  • This app allows customers to schedule gift card deliveries for a specific date and time. It also integrates well with Shopify’s gift card system.

After looking at the various solutions, we opted to not offer a “bonus” gift card but to create a special discount rule that allowed us to hand out discount codes that would only be active for a specific date window and apply to specific products.

This turned out to be far cleaner and easier to implement.

Hi @RSL_IT - sounds like you went with a different solution.

For anybody who does want to send a gift card using Shopify Flow workflows, the Givy app makes this very easy. You can also generate gift cards via their API.

You can also send a product as a bonus gift, or set number of orders of a subscription if you want to get fancy :slight_smile:

App is at Givy → Gift Cards & Gifts - Gift cards, product and subscription gifting for Shopify | Shopify App Store

Hope this helps some of you.
