## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually answer this. First, a quick fork in the road, because "gift card platform" means two different things:
> 
> **A) Selling *your own* branded gift cards to customers** (the usual meaning) - this is the list below.
> **B) Buying *other brands'* gift cards** to send as rewards/incentives - different tools entirely (Tremendous, Tango Card, Toasty); I've noted those at the end.
> 
> ## For selling your own gift cards
> 
> **1. Your platform's native gift cards - try this first.** If you're on Shopify, gift cards are built in on every plan at no extra cost, and Square Online lets you sell physical and eGift cards with your own branding straight from the dashboard. Most stores doing under a few thousand in gift card volume genuinely don't need an app. Start here, hit the limits, *then* pay for something. ([Square](https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/8402-sell-and-send-gift-cards), [Square Online](https://squareup.com/help/article/6934))
> 
> **2. Rise.ai - best overall paid pick for Shopify.** The reason to choose it isn't gift cards, it's store credit. It gives you gift cards, credit wallets, cashback, referral credits, and loyalty in one connected system, plus scheduled deliver
