It has become critical for retailers to embrace the new generation of mobile integrated digital/e-gift cards. Given the increasing self-use, retailers need to start viewing gift card as payment tool and enhance the value proposition with loyalty programs and option to reload.

Globally, the adoption of gift cards has seen a steady increase over the years. Consumers have been using gift cards for various transactional purposes such as exchanging it for cash, buying cryptocurrencies, and using it for regifting.
