Managing Gift Cards

Order Gift Cards

You will need to order plastic gift cards through Bindo to take full advantage of the gift card features. Bindo uses gift cards with a magstripe that work just like a credit card. They have a PIN as well, but online gift card shopping isn't available quite yet.

We're also happy to help you design your gift cards if you send us the artwork for your logo (preferably in Adobe Illustrator format). Just send us an email with your store name, request, and artwork to support@bindo.com. We provide two free digital proofs so you can be sure your gift cards look great!

You're now ready to sell and accept gift cards.
