What merchants praise

We've installed Gift Card Pro on 3 Shopify stores. Every time we've needed some help, the Gist Customer Support Team (this means you, Tim ! ) have been over the top helpful and quick to solve problems. Our customers love the power of the gift card platform, and we love the added revenue we generate by offering gift cards. Highly recommend.
