GiftUp is the simplest way to sell gift cards online. It gives you the ability to set up branded gift cards (digital and physical), and the integration with Swift will allow your customers to use those gift cards when booking on the platform.

Gift cards are a great way to increase customer engagement, encourage repeat visits, and provide an easy gifting option for your customers.

Once integrated with Swift, customers can purchase gift cards through GiftUp and redeem them during checkout on Swift by entering their gift card code. The available balance will automatically be applied toward their booking or purchase.

To connect GiftUp with Swift, you will first need to create a GiftUp account and configure your gift cards. Once your account is set up, you will generate an API key from GiftUp and connect your account to Swift.

The setup process includes:

To create your GiftUp account:

If you already have a GiftUp account, select Log In instead.

For added account security, GiftUp requires two-step verification. Once you've created the account, follow these steps to enable two-step verification for your GiftUp account:

After creating your account and enabling two-step verification:

Once your account setup is complete, you can create your first gift card!

GiftUp refers to gift cards as items for sale. To create a gift card:

To connect GiftUp with Swift, you will need to create an API key. This key securely allows Swift to communicate with your GiftUp account and sync gift card purchases and redemptions.

To create your API key:

When naming your API key, use Swift. This will make it easier to identify later.

For Scopes, please ensure you have the following checked and enabled,

Once completed, you can hit the "Create API key" button

Once created, it should show up on this page. You can click the "API key" to copy it to your clipboard, as we will use it in the next section.

After creating your API key, connect GiftUp to Swift:

If you do not have access to the Integrations page, an Owner or Admin with the appropriate permissions will need to complete this step.

Once connected, Swift and GiftUp will automatically sync gift card purchases and redemptions. Your customers can now use GiftUp gift cards during Swift checkout! 🎉

Your customers can buy your gift cards using the checkout link provided by GiftUp. This purchase will happen directly on GiftUp's platform, not on Swift.

There are a few ways to do allow your customers to purchase your gift card. You can either send them your direct GiftUp checkout link or embed the checkout on your website. To do either of these things, you can visit the Settings page and click the "Get your checkout installation code/link" card.

Once a customer buys a gift card from you, Swift will sync the order from GiftUp, and it will appear in the new "Gift Cards" page under Marketing.

To make changes to any gift card, you must do it directly with your GiftUp account under the "Orders" tab.

In the past, customers could redeem a gift card just like they would redeem a coupon. This is no longer the case - gift cards are treated as their own payment method.

To redeem a gift card, first a customer must add the gift card to their account during the booking/checkout process. They can do this during checkout by entering the gift card code on the Payment step,

Simply click "Add Gift Card" and a modal will pop up to enter the code.

Once it's been added, the gift card will appear as a valid payment method. When the customer attempts to buy a service that exceeds the balance on the card, Swift will ensure they choose a backup payment method (ex: credit card) to pay the remainder.

Gift cards will work on all surfaces where customers make purchases, whether that's the branded booking page or the branded mobile app.

Since only one code can be applied at any given time, customers cannot use multiple gift cards on the same checkout.

It's important to note that gift cards can only be applied once.
