How To Issue GIFT CARDS In Bulk..?

Shopify Discussion
,

Topic summary

A merchant needs to issue approximately 100 gift cards in bulk, ideally using a CSV import method or free solution, as this is a one-time requirement.

Current Situation:

  • Attempted using Shopify’s built-in store credit feature but encountered multiple issues
  • Customers struggle to use store credit and cannot access it when logged in via ShopPay
  • Seeking alternatives to paid apps, particularly those charging percentage-based fees

Preferences:

  • Open to monthly fee-based solutions
  • Strongly opposed to revenue-sharing or commission-based pricing models
  • Looking for either native Shopify functionality or affordable third-party options

The discussion remains unresolved with no viable solutions identified yet.

Are there any ways outside of using a paid app to issue gift cards in bulk to a list? Perhaps using a CSV?

Thank you for any insight you can provide and if you do know a free app please post it here! I only need to do this once for like 100 people so far…

Tried using the store credit feature on Shopify but none of my customers know how to use it nor can they use it because oh guess what there’s a million different things wrong with it including not being able to be logged in with ShopPay.

Absolutely ridiculous…

Yeah I know about your app.. Why would I give you any percentage of my sales at all? I might pay a monthly fee to use this feature but why the hell do you think I would give up any part of my hard-earned sales to you…
