The e-commerce company’s gift cards will be available in both plastic and e-gift options. They allow the customers to add personal message on each card.

In addition, the gift cards allow businesses to manage their own orders and they can be loaded with cash from $5 to $500.

They also provide the visibility to track information and order history and provide easy checkout with payment and shipping information that is securely saved in the buyer’s account for future orders.
