What is the main difference between Givy and Giftship?
Givy emphasizes a digital gift and recipient redemption journey. Giftship emphasizes configuring and fulfilling physical gifts. Choose around what your shoppers buy and what recipients should do next.
Does a Giftship subscription cover every charge?
No. Order overages and optional feature usage can add to the monthly subscription. Model the messages, CSV recipients, and options your team will enable.
Which app should I use for build-a-box?
Giftship explicitly documents a box builder. If assembling a box is central to your store, test that flow. For a digital product gift claimed later by the recipient, explore Givy’s demo.
Can customers gift products or subscriptions with Givy?
Yes. Givy makes products, subscriptions, memberships, and gift cards giftable, and works with every Shopify subscription app. Recipients can provide their shipping address when redeeming a digital product gift. Test your subscription rules and redemption journey with the team.
Can I switch from Giftship to Givy?
Map outstanding gifts, gift card balances, scheduled sends, and integrations before switching. Givy supports bulk gift card imports, but a card import does not automatically migrate every workflow. Agree on how existing gifts will be honored and test purchase, delivery, and redemption before launch.
Can I try Givy before committing?
Givy’s Shopify listing advertises a 7-day free trial on Intro. Check the current listing for plan terms, or book a demo to explore your gifting use case.
