Order Square Gift Cards
With Square, creating and selling physical gift cards to promote your business is easy.
Order Your Gift Cards
To use your Square Gift Cards to customers, you’ll need to choose between a starter pack (20 cards) or Quick and Custom Cards (75 cards minimum).
Starter Pack
To order 20 pre-printed physical gift cards, visit our Square Shop. Each starter pack contains 20 cards with four unique designs packaged in a cardholder that can be used to display your gift cards on your counter. A blank space is provided on the back of each card to allow you to write relevant information, including your business name and the card value.
You can choose between three designs; floral, brushstroke or kaleidoscope. These Starter Pack gift cards come with free standard delivery within 2–7 working days or paid expedited delivery within 1–4 working days.
Note: you cannot customise the gift card Starter Pack with your business name, logo or other personalisation. For customisation, choose Quick or Custom Cards below.

Confirm or edit your gift card default amounts.
Draft a gift card policy for your customers that is displayed upon check out. You can include information like how your customer can check their balance, contact information, and your gift card refunds policy. Please review the Square Additional Point of Sale Terms of Service for limits on gift card functionality, including expiration dates and fees.
Start selling your gift cards! During checkout, to redeem the gift card balance you can either swipe your customer’s gift card, manually enter the gift card number, or scan the gift card QR code or barcode with your device’s camera or a compatible barcode scanner.
Redeeming gift card balances via QR code or a barcode scanner is only available on iOS devices at this time.
Note: if you are using a third-party eCommerce integration partner and you’re selling physical Square gift cards, please check with the integration partner before ordering to ensure they are redeemable. Although Square is the payment processor, the partner may not always support external gift card redemption from Square.
