What’s the difference and how to get started

Toggle has a number of options when it comes to issuing gift cards to your customers. But which one is best for you and how do you get started?

Online orders

Customers buying cards from your Toggle web shop can opt to have a gift card issued immediately via email (digital card) or have one posted out to them.

Once initial set up is complete, Toggle is ready to allow you to sell and redeem digital cards out of the box.

But how do you start selling physical cards and what are your options? Well, it turns out you have two:

1 - Issue 'on-demand' cards to your customers.

Our on-demand print service is the quickest physical card option to get set up. We'll print and send out branded paper vouchers for you, as and when they're ordered. We'll even design them for you!

Or…

2 - Use magnetic stripe cards

These take a little more setting up, as you’ll need to order a batch of magnetic stripe cards from a specialist card printer. It’s pretty easy to do though and means you can just swipe through cards to fulfil orders rather than transpose information manually (great for hassle-free redemptions too)..

On-site sales

For your customers who just want to walk in and buy a gift card, you can do this too with Toggle.

You’ll need one of our EPOS integrations to do this and some magnetic stripe cards in each of your sites, ready for your staff to sell.
