What's included

Everything a retail business runs on, in one system.

Small business operators looking for a gift card system usually have to add a third-party app. With Vertex, gift cards ship with the platform.

Balance check

Anyone can check the remaining balance by code — no account required.

Partial redemption

Apply a card at checkout; remaining balance carries forward. Works online and in-store POS.

Admin issuance + resend

Issue cards manually for refunds, comps, promotions. Audit + resend codes that get lost.

Questions retail owners ask

Are there per-card fees?

No. Gift cards are free to issue and redeem. Only your Stripe processing fee applies on the original purchase.

Can I print physical gift cards?
