Digital gift vouchers for UK businesses

Gift Digital

Sell beautifully branded gift vouchers from your own page. Customers buy online, send them as gifts and redeem them in person with a QR code. You keep control of every detail, and see every fee.

Free to start. No setup fee, no contract.

The UK voucher market

A market worth billions, paid for up front.

Gift vouchers are bought before anyone walks through your door, and more and more of them are bought online.

And a lot of it is never spent.

Vouchers left in drawers and inboxes are a fact of the industry. Every voucher sold through Vouchr is paid for at the moment it is bought.

Your dashboard

Every sale, at a glance.

Your figures are up to date every time you log in: what you have sold, what you have earned, and how many vouchers have been used. No spreadsheets, no waiting for a statement.

The Overview page of the merchant dashboard, with example figures.
  • Sales and earnings

    Vouchers sold, their total value, our commission and your share, side by side.

  • Redemptions

    How many vouchers have been used, how many are still to come in, and your redemption rate.

  • Every sale in detail

    Open any sale to see who bought it and when, whether it was a gift, and the exact commission and Stripe fee.

  • Payouts

    Every payout to your bank, with its amount, arrival date and status.

  • Your vouchers

    Add and edit vouchers, switch them on or off, and drag them into the order your customers see.

  • Plan and invoices

    Upgrade to Plus whenever it suits you, and find every invoice we send you in one place.

Getting started

Three steps to your first sale.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Tell us about your business. Every application is reviewed by the Vouchr team.

  2. 02

    Design

    Brand your vouchers in the dashboard, or start from a template, and set what each one buys.

  3. 03

    Sell and scan

    Share your voucher page. Payments go to your bank through Stripe, and you scan vouchers at the till.

The scanner

Scan at the till with the phone in your pocket.

Redeeming a voucher takes a few seconds on any phone or tablet with a camera and an internet connection, iPhone or Android. Open the scanner in the browser, sign in, and point it at the voucher's QR code.

vouchr.co.uk/scan

  • Nothing to install

    It runs in the web browser, so there is no app to download and no card reader to buy.

  • An answer in seconds

    Point the camera at the QR code and see straight away whether the voucher is valid.

  • Every kind of voucher

    Single-use vouchers are redeemed in one scan. Choose how many uses to take, or type the amount spent from a balance.

  • Mistakes caught for you

    Used, expired or another business’s vouchers are flagged, and you decide whether to honour an expired one.

  • Sign in once

    Stay signed in on the phone at the till, and it opens straight to the camera next time.

  • However they bring it

    Customers can show their voucher on their phone, on paper or from Apple Wallet.
