What is Rise Gift Cards & Store Credit?
Rise unifies gift cards, store credit, loyalty rewards, cashback and refund compensation into one branded digital wallet, positioned as a full retention engine rather than a simple gift-card tool. It shows a 4.7/5 rating on 738 reviews and is developed by Rise.ai, based in Miami, Florida, with the app live since December 2014, one of the longest track records in this category.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants run cashback campaigns to lift AOV, reward signup or lifetime spend with store credit, and issue store credit refunds instead of cash to reduce revenue loss from returns. Gift cards can be sold digitally or physically with a branded "gift reveal" experience, and customers can check their balance or add the card to an Apple/Google Wallet pass. It's currently English-only and connects to AfterShip, Klaviyo, Loop Returns, Okendo and Recharge.
Why choose Rise over another gift card app?
Unifying gift cards, loyalty, cashback and refund compensation in one wallet is broader than most single-purpose gift-card apps in this list, useful for a merchant who wants one system rather than several. Over a decade on the market and thousands of brands using it give it a strong reliability signal at scale. One recent review describes a serious loading and access problem that made it hard to see outstanding credits or even cancel the subscription, which Rise's support team responded to publicly and offered to resolve directly, a concrete point worth testing carefully in hands-on use, particularly around dashboard reliability, before relying on it for a high-volume gifting program.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Unified wallet combining gift cards, store credit, cashback and refunds.
- Apple/Google Wallet pass support, putting the brand in the customer's pocket.
