Physical event cards with scannable gift links.
Givio Cards turn a simple card into a QR powered gift. Guests scan a card, load a monetary gift through Stripe, and the recipient scans the same card to claim their funds later. No ATM, no loose cash.
Recipients keep the gift amount. Guests cover a small service fee. Payments are handled securely by Stripe.
A real Givio card
Each card has its own unique QR code that guests can scan to send a gift, and the recipient can later scan to claim it.
How it works

Every Givio card carries a single QR code. Givers use it to load cash gifts, and recipients use the same code to claim them instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Answers for recipients and gifters
Givio Cards are a new way to give and receive event gifts. Here are clear answers to the most common questions we hear.
Are Givio Cards safe to use
Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details never pass through or live on Givio servers. We only store the info needed to link each card to its gift and payout.
What fees apply and who pays them
Guests pay for the physical card and a small service fee when they send a gift. Recipients keep the full gift amount if using a free transfer method.
What if someone loses the card
The QR code on the physical card is the key to the gift. We recommend recipients keep cards in a safe place once they are opened. If a card is lost before a payout, contact us.
How long can gifts remain unclaimed
Funds stay linked to the card until a payout request is made or a year after the card is loaded. submitted and processed.
Do recipients need an app or account
No app is required. Recipients scan the QR code printed inside the card and submit a payout request through a mobile friendly page.
Which payout methods are supported
Givio Cards are expanding payout options over time. Currently we support Venmo payouts and bank transfers. Our goal is to give recipients familiar ways to move gift money where they want it easily.
