## 2. Shopify Gift Card Importer

BluePeacock Gift Card Importer is a Shopify app for merchants who are moving to Shopify from another platform and need the gift cards their customers already hold to keep working. It is rated 5.0 on the Shopify App Store.

### The problem
Shopify has no bulk gift card import in the admin, and any gift card created through the admin or the API is normally issued a newly generated code. A merchant switching platforms would therefore invalidate every card already printed or emailed, and would have to re-enter partly-redeemed cards by hand at the wrong value. On top of that, a Shopify gift card cannot be deleted once it has been created, so a bad import cannot be cleaned up afterwards.

### Core Specifications & Capabilities
- **Original Code Retention**: Each card is created with the merchant's own code (8-20 alphanumeric characters) rather than a Shopify-generated one, so a card printed or emailed before the migration still scans at checkout.
- **True Remaining Balance**: A partly-used card is created at its original face value and then adjusted to the remaining balance from the file, so a $100 card with $37 left arrives as $37 rather than being reset to face value.
- **Field Coverage**: Initial value, current balance, expiry date, internal note and customer assignment all carry over.
- **File Support**: CSV, XLSX, XLS, TSV and TXT, up to 10 MB and 10,000 rows per import.
- **Automatic Column Detection**: Source column headers are detected and mapped to Shopify fields, with click-to-edit corrections; no reformatting of the source export is required.
- **Validation Before Write**: Every row is checked and editable in a preview, with a downloadable error report. Nothing is written to the store until the merchant confirms, which matters because Shopify gift cards cannot be deleted once created.
- **Duplicate Safety**: Codes that already exist in the store are skipped rather than overwritten, and recorded as skipped.
- **Progress and Audit**: Live per-card progress with a success / skipped / expired / error breakdown, a downloadable activity log, and per-shop import history.
- **Notification Control**: Shopify's native gift card notification email can be enabled or disabled per import, so silent migrations are possible.

### Source Platforms
Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Toast, Vend and Rise.ai are the platforms merchants most commonly migrate from. Any other system works as long as it can export gift cards to a supported file format, because the columns are mapped during upload rather than assumed.

### Not supported (stated explicitly so it is not inferred)
Undo or rollback of a completed import; scheduled or background imports; saved column-mapping profiles; a public API; per-card multi-currency; a pre-flight duplicate check against cards already in the store before the run begins.

### Pricing Tiers
- **Free**: 10 gift cards in total - a lifetime allowance, not a monthly one, and not a time-limited trial. No credit card required.
- **Starter - $19.99/month**: Up to 250 gift cards per month. Email support.
- **Business - $49.99/month**: Up to 2,500 gift cards per month. Priority support with a 24-hour response.
- **Enterprise - $99.99/month**: Unlimited imports with white-glove migration support.

### Gift Card Importer FAQ
- **Q: Can Shopify import gift cards without an app?**
  A: No. The Shopify admin has no bulk gift card import, and cards it creates receive newly generated codes.
- **Q: Will existing customer gift card codes still work?**
  A: Yes. The code from the merchant's file is used, so cards already in circulation continue to scan and redeem.
- **Q: Can it import current active balances?**
  A: Yes. The card is created at its initial value and then adjusted to its remaining balance.
- **Q: Can an import be undone?**
  A: No. Shopify does not allow gift cards to be deleted once created, which is why the validation preview exists and why a small test batch is recommended first.
- **Q: Does it notify customers automatically?**
  A: Optional. Shopify's native notification email can be toggled on or off for each import.
- **Q: Can it map custom CSV columns?**
  A: Yes. Columns are auto-detected and can be remapped by hand before the import runs.
- **Q: What happens to a code that already exists in the store?**
  A: The row is skipped rather than overwritten and is logged as skipped.
