Gift Cards powered by joe

Store-specific digital gift cards powered by joe, offer a seamless purchasing and sharing experience exclusive for your shop. See how they work and purchase custom branded physical cards to have in store. 

Loyalty without Liability

Gift cards are a fantastic way for coffee shops to acquire new customers and increase loyalty. While traditional gift cards offer a benefit of some upfront cash, they also have to honored for years - and in some states forever! That can create accounting headaches for coffee shops and often times handcuffs coffee shops to subpar point of sale systems and technology. 

 At joe, we recognized an opportunity to modernize the way gift cards work in the coffee industry, maximize cashflow, and eliminate the traditional liability that comes with traditional gift cards. 

Recently, we launched store-specific digital gift cards as a new feature on every partner's digital storefront. In addition to powerful loyalty programs that re-engage your customers and bring them back to your page on joe, customers can now buy gift cards for friends and family to your specific coffee shop.

1. Eliminate monthly fees,
2. Automatically re-engages customers to spend their balance and keep your brand top of mind. 
3. Automatically engages your customers to share gift cards for friends and family (without having to buy a physical card!)
4. Detailed reporting gives you real time data on gift card purchases and data,
5. joe manages the gift card liability on your behalf!

In addition to the digital gift cards, you can purchase physical cards in your store that tie directly to the digital account. 

Physical gift cards make sharing easy

To accompany digital gift cards, our new custom branded gift cards powered by joe showcase your brand while making sharing local coffee easy. 

Here's how they work:

1. Scan the QR code on branded gift card
