Gift value that arrives in their wallet.
A digital gift card is a wallet-based card that carries a gift value defined and sold by a business, which the recipient uses toward purchases at that business. With Loyal-T Cards, the gift card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, shows the remaining balance, and your team records each redemption with the Loyal-T Cards scanner. It is a merchant gift program, not a bank product, a Visa or Mastercard prepaid card or a general stored-value instrument.
Included in Loyal-T Cards Annual, US$660/year for one business location. We set it up. Your team runs it.
How it works
How a digital gift card works.
A gift card is often the first contact a new customer has with a business. A digital one is easy to send, cannot be misplaced in a drawer, and shows the recipient exactly what is left to spend.
01
Define the gift values
Decide the amounts you sell, for example AED 100, 200 or 500, how the value is redeemed and any validity rules that apply where you operate.
02
Buyer purchases, recipient receives
You sell the gift value through your own process. The recipient adds the branded gift card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet by QR code or link.
03
Card shows the balance
The gift card displays its number and the remaining balance.
04
Staff records redemptions
When the recipient pays with the gift card, your team records the amount used through the Loyal-T Cards scanner and the balance on the card updates.
Good fit
Where a gift card fits.
- Beauty and spa
Treatments are a natural gift, and the balance can cover more than one visit.
- Restaurants
A dinner for two, sent by phone rather than handed over in an envelope.
- Retail
Gift value for a shop the buyer already trusts.
- Coffee shops
Small-value gifts that introduce someone new to the counter.
In practice
An example structure, and who does what.
Loyal-T Cards configures the structure with you at setup. From launch, your customers and your team use it like this.
Example gift-card structure
- Values sold
- AED 100, AED 250, AED 500
- Redemption
- Multiple use until the balance is spent
- Validity
- As required by the rules that apply where you operate
- Balance
- Shown on the card, updated by your team after each redemption
Gift values, redemption rules and validity are configured for your program. This is an illustration, not a required structure and not legal guidance.
The customer
- Receives the gift card by QR code or link and adds it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
- Sees the card number and remaining balance on the card
- Shows the card at the counter to pay with the gift value
- Watches the balance reduce after each recorded redemption
Your team
- Sell the gift value through your own sales and payment process
- Issue the gift card to the recipient by QR code or link
- Scan the card and record the amount redeemed at each visit
- Review issued cards and redemptions in the dashboard where available

The same join, scan and dashboard workflow applies to every card type.
Before you choose
Important considerations.
Merchant gift value, not a financial product
The value on the card is a promise from your business to the recipient. It is not a bank balance, not a Visa or Mastercard prepaid card, not a universal stored-value instrument and not cash-equivalent outside your business.
No automatic POS settlement
Your team records redemptions through Loyal-T Cards and settles the sale in your own till. Loyal-T Cards does not take payment for gift cards and does not deduct value automatically from your POS.
Gift-card rules are your responsibility
Gift cards are regulated differently in different places, including rules on expiry, refunds and disclosures. You are responsible for applying the laws and expiry rules of your jurisdiction. This page does not give legal advice.
Loyal-T Cards is a separate loyalty platform. Keep using your existing booking, POS, ordering or business workflow; your team records loyalty activity through Loyal-T Cards alongside it.
