Gift Cards
Growalty lets existing customers buy digital gift cards from the merchant and send them to someone else via WhatsApp, email or link. The recipient receives the gift, activates the card in their Apple/Google Wallet with the balance, and becomes a new customer of the merchant. It's the cheapest acquisition channel because each new customer arrives with pre-paid balance and motivation to use it.
How it works
Customer buys a gift card from the customer panel
Picks the amount (€10, €25, €50…), adds a personal message and a recipient (phone or email).
Recipient receives the gift and activates it
Unique link by WhatsApp/email. Tap → wallet card with loaded balance. No app download.
Recipient spends the balance in your store
New customer shows up with money already paid, high motivation and the first-step barrier solved.
Results
78% of gifted cards are redeemed within 60 days. Physical gift cards have typical rates of 50-60%.
After redeeming the gift, the recipient comes back on average 1.4 more times with their own payments. The gift card is just the first click.
