Per-sale percentage vs flat monthly fee — the break-even shifts fast at volume

Giftfly charges a percentage on every gift card sold. Shopolo charges a flat monthly fee.

Giftfly has no monthly fee — but takes a percentage of every gift card sale (reported at 4–6% of gross). On a $100 gift card, that's $4–$6 per transaction to Giftfly, on top of payment processing. A business selling $5,000/month in gift cards pays $200–$300/month in Giftfly fees. Shopolo's flat $29/month covers unlimited gift card volume plus five additional features.

Shopolo connects gift card buyers to your loyalty program and ordering. Giftfly doesn't.

A customer who buys a gift card through Shopolo is automatically added to your email list and can join your loyalty program. When they use that gift card on an order, they earn stamps. Giftfly handles the gift card transaction and stops there — no customer relationship is built beyond the sale.

Giftfly is gift cards only. Shopolo adds loyalty, ordering, booking, and email.

If gift cards are your only need, Giftfly's no-monthly-fee model has appeal at low volume. For businesses that want to turn a gift card buyer into a loyal repeat customer — through loyalty stamps, email promotions, and direct ordering — Shopolo builds that connection automatically, at a fixed cost that gets more efficient as volume grows.

When Giftfly is the right choice

Giftfly's no-monthly-fee model makes sense if you sell gift cards only occasionally — a few per month — and don't need any other tools. At very low volume, the per-sale fee is less than a monthly subscription. For any restaurant or business selling gift cards regularly, the per-transaction cost exceeds Shopolo's flat fee quickly, and Shopolo adds five additional features alongside.
