A note on accepting gift cards via your Stripe account

Please note that Stripe is a payment processor first and foremost, and we use your Stripe account to take payment for your gift card sales only.

Your Stripe account cannot be used to accept gift cards in your other platform/checkout, even if you use it elsewhere, like in your shopping cart. To accept Gift Up issued gift cards in your platform/system/checkout etc... you'll have to connect that separately to Gift Up - most likely using our API or a built-in integration we already support (like Shopify, WooCommerce etc…).

The only exception to that is if you specifically use either Stripe Billing (their subscription product), or Stripe Checkout (their simple one-page checkout system). If you use either of those products, read about our Stripe Checkout/Billing integration here.

Authorize Gift Up to take payments using your Stripe account:

1) Log in to your Gift Up dashboard, and browse to https://giftup.app/integrations/stripe and click "Connect Stripe to Gift Up"

2) Login to your Stripe account, and install the Gift Up Stripe app. If you do not have a Stripe account yet, you can create one easily by clicking here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register.

Connect using API keys directly

As an alternative to using the Stripe App, you can connect using API keys directly.

1) Simply choose to connect Stripe to Gift Up using API keys:

2) Click the "Generate new Stripe API keys" button to go to your Stripe dashboard with a restricted API key configured with the permissions we need: 3) Generate the new API key using the options pre-configured with the link:

4) Copy the API key:

5) Paste it into the Secret key field in Gift Up

6) Copy the Stripe Publishable key into the field in Gift Up:

Common questions with our Stripe integration

1) Is 3D Secure/SCA supported for card payments?

Yes it is. Our Stripe integration fully supports 3D Secure payments where cards required. We are also fully compliant with the upcoming EU PSD2/SCA Legislation that requires ALL card payments within the EU to be verified using 3D Secure V2.

2) Do the Gift Up issued gift cards get copied to Stripe for use in another checkout system using your Stripe account?

Yes and no. Your Stripe account cannot be used to accept gift cards in your other platform/checkout if you are just using Stripe as a payment processor, like in your shopping cart. To accept Gift Up gift cards in your platform/system/checkout etc... you'll have to connect that separately to Gift Up - most likely using our API or a built-in integration we already support (like Shopify, WooCommerce etc…).

The only exception to that is if you specifically use either Stripe Billing (their subscription product), or Stripe Checkout (their simple one-page checkout system), if you use either of those products, read about our Stripe Checkout/Billing integration here.

3) Working with Stripe Radar Rules

By default, when a payment is placed into review by Stripe, Gift Up will continue as normal, and issue your gift cards. You can, however, get Gift Up to hold an order, until the review has been approved.

From the Stripe payment settings page, you can expand 'Configure advanced payment method options', and set the desired behaviour:

Issue Gift Card (default)

So long as the payment succeeds, we'll issue the gift card as normal, effectively ignoring whether or not the payment is in review.
You can set your Radar rule to reject the payment, in which case, we won't issue a gift card, as the payment will fail.

Wait for Approval

Gift Up will wait up to 6 days for you to approve the review in Stripe's dashboard.
The moment you approve the review, Stripe will notify us and Gift Up will automatically attempt to take payment and complete the order.
