A gift for them. A new regular for you.

Digital gift cards your customers buy and send in a minute. Every card claimed adds a real, contactable customer to your list, and every redemption earns them a reward for the visit after.

No fees to trovy, standard card processing only. Customers pay the card’s face value and nothing more.

Why it works

The gift card is just the front door.

A paper gift card gives you a sale. A trovy gift card gives you the customer.

  1. A new regular with every card.

    Every card is claimed into a real account, so it hands you a contactable customer, not an anonymous swipe.

  2. Prepaid revenue.

    Customers buy now and visit later, so the money is working for you weeks before they walk in.

  3. They almost always spend more.

    Gift card guests routinely spend beyond the card’s value when they redeem.

  4. Cards that market for you.

    Buyers add their own photo and a message, then share the card as a link: your name in front of someone new.

How it works

From a gift to a regular.

A trovy gift card is a story people share. Here is how it plays out at your counter.

The card

A gift worth sharing.

Every card carries your name and your photos. The buyer makes it theirs with a photo, a message and a few stickers, then shares it like a story.

  • Your name on every card.

    Your logo and cover photo, from your store profile, on your gift card page and on every card it sells.

  • Their photo, their words.

    Buyers design the card like a story: a photo, text, stickers, even a drawing.

  • Shared in a tap.

    As a link by text, or straight to their story. Every share puts you in front of someone new.
