Shopify e-commerce
Connect Gift Up to your Shopify store and we will enable your Gift Up gift card codes to be used during checkout (and in-person if you use Shopify POS) as a native Shopify gift card.
Connect Gift Up to your Shopify account
As of Jan 2026, Shopify has changed how private apps are created, and as a result we are currently in the Shopify app review process for a new public app to allow Shopify stores to connect to Gift Up. If you require your store connected to Shopify in the meantime, please contact us at support@giftup.com.
How to sell gift cards in your Shopify website
In order to sell gift cards, you need to install our drop-in checkout on a page somewhere on your Shopify website.
Gift cards cannot be bought as products in your Shopify catalog as we need to collect some extra information like recipient email address and delivery date, and Shopify does not allow us to collect this extra information.

How Gift Up works with your Shopify account
When you sell a gift card in your Gift Up checkout, we will automatically create a gift card in Shopify. This means it can be used over multiple purchases in Shopify until the balance is depleted and can also be used against shipping costs/sales taxes that your Shopify cart is configured to implement.
If your shop offers subscriptions or utilizes Shopify POS, the gift card we create can also be used against the subscription and/or in the POS in-store.
What about order cancellations in Shopify?
When you cancel/refund an order in Shopify, you can define how much gets refunded and onto what payment instrument that was used.
If a Shopify gift card was used to pay for all or part of the order and you refund it back onto that gift card, we'll top up the gift card in Gift Up automatically, keeping everything in sync.
However, if you connected Shopify before November 2024, it is likely that you have gift cards in Gift Up that were synced to Shopify as Shopify Discount Codes, and in this instance, if you cancel/refund an order in Shopify that used a Discount Code, we do not top up the gift card in Gift Up. This is a technical limitation in Shopify.
What Shopify plans does Gift Up work with?
Gift Up works with any Shopify plan, all the way from the Basic Shopify plan to Shopify Plus.
