Yiftee's eGift card platform is designed to ensure that local currency remains within the community by offering straightforward community-specific eGift cards alongside single-brand cards that function independently of point-of-sale systems. Users can access eGift cards for more than 55,000 local enterprises through Yiftee, making it a valuable resource for both consumers and local business owners. Professionals and employers often purchase these eGift cards to bolster local economies while enjoying cost savings compared to conventional plastic gift cards. Consumers frequently select Yiftee eGift cards for various occasions like birthdays, graduations, and holidays, as well as for their personal use. Additionally, Yiftee promotes these eGift cards on platforms such as Facebook, Nextdoor, and other social media outlets without imposing any additional costs on merchants or local communities. By keeping local dollars within the community, Yiftee provides local businesses with a source of incremental revenue from institutional buyers who might have otherwise opted for national brand gift cards. Remarkably, a survey indicates that 92% of card purchasers would rather support local businesses through community cards instead of opting for national brands, underscoring the significant preference for local over national spending. This reflects a growing trend where consumers are increasingly conscious of their purchasing choices, actively seeking ways to contribute to their local economies.

eGifter Merchants™ provides enterprise gift card technology for retailers and brands that need to operate digital and physical gift card programs across multiple channels. The configurable platform supports eGift and plastic gift cards, consumer and B2B sales, branded gift card storefronts, ecommerce, in-app and in-store programs, and Shopify integration for D2C brands with advanced gift card needs. Brands can use the platform to support gift card sales as well as loyalty and marketing incentives, merchandise returns, customer appeasement, promotions, and other stored-value applications. Administrative tools and reporting provide visibility and control across gift card program operations, while integration options allow merchants to connect gift card capabilities with their existing technology and customer experiences. Rather than requiring every merchant to operate within the same program structure, eGifter Merchants can be configured around a brand’s business requirements and expanded as its gift card program evolves. This flexibility supports organizations launching new programs as well as established brands modernizing or scaling existing gift card infrastructure. Security is built into the platform through eGifter Shield™, which supports fraud detection and intervention across gift card transactions. eGifter Merchants also combines its technology with dedicated program support and professional gift card program management services, providing brands with operational expertise alongside the platform. From white-label gift card storefronts and omnichannel gift card sales to B2B programs, physical and digital gift cards, reporting, integrations, security, and program management, eGifter Merchants provides the infrastructure for brands to manage gift cards.
