For brands

Your gift cards, sold far beyond your own counter

We build your gift card programme with you, put it in front of customers through resellers and companies, and give you the tools to sell and accept it everywhere you trade.

Everything a gift card programme needs

From the first card design to the payout in your bank account, on one platform.

  • Retail & e-commerce
  • Food & dining
  • Betting & iGaming
  • Streaming & subscriptions
  • E-wallets & payments
  • Online gaming

A programme built for you

Fixed or open amounts, single-use or part payments, expiry dates and your own terms, set up by our team.

Redeem wherever you take payment

A web till for any browser, an Android app for the POS devices already on your counter, or your online checkout through our API.

Sell your own cards too

Sell from the same tills, send them in bulk or from your own app through our API, with no middleman: you pay the card's value from your issuing balance.

Every store and till in view

See redemptions by branch and by terminal, and who signed in where.

You choose who pays the fee

Absorb the redemption fee or pass it to the customer, sale by sale, with a lower fee agreed for the cards you sold yourself.

Two balances, paid on your day

Redemptions build your redemption balance, paid to your bank on the day agreed with you. Move any of it to your issuing balance to sell more cards.

How you are paid

You pay a redemption fee only when one of your gift cards is spent, at a rate agreed for each product. There is nothing to pay while a card sits unspent.

For a fixed period of up to 24 months, AfroPin is your only partner for selling your gift cards through third parties. Your own stores, website and app stay yours, and you can end it early if we don't get your cards to resellers within six months. Why exclusive

Questions brands ask

More answers in the Help Centre.

Do we need new hardware?

No. The web till runs in any browser, and our Android app installs on the POS devices you already have, reading gift card QR codes with the built-in scanner or the camera.

Can customers spend part of a gift card?

Yes, if you allow it for that product. The balance stays on the card for next time, and you can choose whether the customer gets a new code after each spend.

Who sells our gift cards?

Verified resellers on the network (supermarkets, agent networks, apps and banks) and companies buying them as rewards. You can sell them yourself at your own tills too.

Can we connect our online checkout?

Yes. Our API checks and redeems gift cards from your own checkout or app, with a full test mode to build against first. For developers
