Sell digital gift cards online in minutes — no hardware, no apps, no setup fee. Customers buy in 60 seconds from your storefront link. Money hits your Stripe account instantly, before you lift a finger.
A Bankrate/YouGov survey of 2,373 US adults in 2024 found 43% were holding at least one unused gift card, worth $244 each on average. Selling your own is how you get into that pocket instead of a competitor's.
First Data's 2018 Prepaid Consumer Insights study of more than 2,000 US consumers found the average recipient spends $59 above the value of the card — the difference comes out of their own pocket, on your counter.
Customers can purchase and send a digital gift card in under 60 seconds from your storefront — no app download, no account required. Share your link and start selling today.
Unlike third-party gift card platforms that take 5–15% per transaction, Shopolo only takes a small platform fee from your settlement. No marketplace cut. No annual listing fees.
