Merchants can get started with no setup costs or credit card required. Since every business model is not the same, we wanted to give merchants the choice of who pays the fees to send a GiftFly. When signing up, you can choose between two options: Merchants Fly Free (The participating business absorbs the eDelivery fee of $0.99 + 3.99% per transaction + credit card fees) or Customers Fly Free (The customer pays the eDelivery fee of $0.99 + 3.99% per transaction. The participating business pays the credit card fees). The eGift card transaction fee only applies to merchant or customer, NOT both. Standard credit card processing fees are 2.90% + $0.30.

There is no charge to send free Giveaways and Instant Rewards, however, there is a 3.99% marketing fee only on the amount of the redemption, which is simply deducted from your gift card sales.

All GiftFly sales and redemptions can be tracked through your merchant dashboard and app in real-time. You will also receive an email notification for any new cards sold.

Your egift card sales will typically get directly deposited into your bank account 72 hours (max 3-4 Business Days) after they are purchased. Please note the deposit of your initial gift card sales may take a few days longer but will then adjust to 72 hours. Any fraud or chargeback disputes related may delay payments until full resolution.
