Govalo replaces Shopify's generic gift card with a fully branded product page, then handles everything after checkout. Shoppers pick a design and schedule delivery straight to the recipient. You can issue store credit for returns, show a gift card when products sell out, gift Recharge or Bold subscriptions, and send cards in bulk from a CSV. Emails run through Klaviyo, Omnisend or Drip, cards work at Shopify POS, and one dashboard tracks gift card revenue.
