You can start integrating right away. Sandbox credentials are self-serve, and most teams place their first sandbox order in under 10 minutes. When you're ready, production access is typically enabled within one business day, and your code doesn't change because sandbox and production share the same base URL.
Yes. The free sandbox uses the same base URL and API as production. Each sandbox account starts with a $10,000 virtual balance that refills automatically, orders complete immediately, and no emails go out to real recipients. The sandbox allows 300 requests per minute.
Create a production app, register at least one server IP address for your allowlist, and complete a standard business verification (KYB). Production access is typically enabled within one business day.
Our SOC 2 Type II report is coming soon. Once it's issued, we can share it under NDA for your vendor review.
Your server exchanges its credentials for an OAuth 2.0 access token that expires after one hour in production and carries only the permissions it needs. Production credentials must be approved and are locked to your IP allowlist. All requests run over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher, and webhooks are signed with HMAC-SHA256.
Branded Cards for one specific brand, Choice Cards that let recipients pick from the brands available in their country, prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards for recipients where local brands are limited, and payout options like PayPal and Venmo for recipients who prefer cash.
Yes. A reward link order generates up to 500 links in one request, with no recipient emails needed, so you can show each link in your app, on a completion page, or in your own messages. Email orders also return a reward link for each recipient once the order completes.
Yes. One order can include many recipients, each with their own amount, and each recipient's result comes back with the order.
Yes. Set a send date and time in any IANA time zone, such as America/New_York, so rewards arrive at the right local time. You can cancel a scheduled order up to 10 minutes before it sends.
Every order request includes an idempotency key that you generate. A request that repeats a key is rejected, so retrying after a timeout never sends the same rewards twice.
Retrieve any order with its status and recipient-level results, or list orders with filters. Subscribe to webhooks to hear about completed, partial, and bounced deliveries, canceled orders, and ACH approvals as they happen. Each webhook is retried up to 4 times, and every delivery is logged in your dashboard.
Production allows 60 requests per minute and the sandbox allows 300. Requests over the limit return HTTP 429. Because one order can include many recipients, you can reach a large group in a single call.
The API itself is free. You pay the face value of the rewards you send, with no API usage, integration, platform, or per-card fees. ACH and wire funding are free, and credit card funding carries a 3% processing fee. Payout options like PayPal and Venmo have a redemption fee, which the recipient pays by default.
Standard rewards stay redeemable for 180 days. Turn on the Refund Option when you order to get back 50%, 40%, or 30% of unredeemed value after a 30, 60, or 90 day window, credited to your balance automatically.
Yes. Giftronaut's MCP server connects AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline to 48 tools for orders, recipients, balance, and the catalog. Every order is drafted for your approval before money moves. For coding, you can download the API specs as one Markdown file for your AI coding assistant.
