Instant Gift Cards

Instant gift cards, delivered in seconds

Send a gift card the moment something happens: a survey ends, a deal closes, a birthday arrives. Trigger sends by API, from your CRM, or on a schedule, and they land by email, SMS or WhatsApp.

What you get

What makes a gift card instant on Plum

Seconds, not days

Cards go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp as soon as the send fires.

Rewards API

REST endpoints and real-time webhooks for order status.

Sandbox

Test the whole flow before you go live, with the same endpoints.

Triggers

Send from Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo and survey tools.

Scheduling

Load dates once, and each card goes out on its day.

Pre-funded wallet

Automated sends draw from your balance, with no payment step in the way.

Automation

Instant gift cards sent by API or trigger

The value of a reward drops the longer people wait for it. Connect Plum to the systems where the moment happens, and the gift card goes out without anyone pressing send.

  • Rewards API with webhooks, so your system knows each order’s status.
  • Idempotency keys, so a retry never sends the same card twice.
  • Triggers from your CRM, marketing automation or survey platform.

  • A timeline for each order, from sent to delivered.
  • Email, SMS and WhatsApp delivery shown separately.
  • Scheduled sends listed alongside the ones already out.

Plum vs sending gift cards by hand

Sending by hand
  • Someone buys codes after the event
  • Codes copied into emails one by one
  • A new payment for every order
  • Duplicates when a step is repeated
  • No record of what arrived
Instant gift cards through Plum
  • Sent the moment the event happens
  • Sent by API, trigger or schedule
  • Drawn from a pre-funded wallet
  • Idempotency keys stop duplicate sends
  • Every send tracked live

Pay on issue, or pay on use

Plum runs on a pre-funded wallet. You choose when it’s debited.

Pay on issue

You pay the full card value the moment each card is sent.

  • A fixed, known cost for every send.
  • Suits awards and gifts, where every card gets used.
  • Unused value stays with Xoxoday.

Pay on use

You pay only for the value people actually spend.

  • Unused value goes back to your wallet.
  • Suits survey incentives and campaigns, where some cards go unused.
