What is Givy?
Givy sells multi-currency gift cards and makes any product, subscription or membership giftable, with personalized messages, GIFs, gift wrapping and scheduled delivery. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a perfect 5.0/5 rating on 50 reviews. It's developed by Givy, based in Winnipeg, Canada, and launched in April 2024.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants enable gifting on any product page, letting a buyer send a gift card or product as a gift with a personal message, GIF, gift wrap and note, on a scheduled delivery date. Gift cards can be bought and redeemed in multiple currencies, and subscription or membership gifting automatically converts a recipient into a subscriber. It covers 27 languages, an unusually wide range for this category, including French, German, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese, and connects to major subscription apps like Recharge, Appstle, Skio and Bold.
Why choose Givy over another gifting app?
Making subscriptions and memberships giftable, with the recipient automatically becoming a subscriber, is a distinctive capability not offered by the other apps in this list, useful for subscription-box or membership-based brands specifically. The 27-language coverage is the broadest in this batch by a wide margin. One review specifically describes Givy as the only app able to support a nuanced subscription-gifting setup after testing several alternatives, with the team working through the details until it functioned as envisioned, a strong signal for stores with non-standard gifting requirements, though the newer launch date (2024) and smaller review count (50) mean less long-term track record than category veterans like Rise.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Subscription and membership gifting, converting recipients into subscribers automatically.
- Multi-currency gift cards, buyable and redeemable across markets.
- 27-language coverage, the broadest in this category.
