Gift cards sold online, scanned at the bar

Pleincafé Wilhelmina is a café with a terrace on Curaçao. We built a gift card system where customers buy and pay online, and staff check every gift card with a QR scan.

The problem

Gift cards ran through the gift card app of their website builder, which did not give the full code back and offered staff no simple way to check a card at the bar.

What we built

  • A purchase page in the café's own style, with amount, recipient name and a personal message
  • The choice to keep the gift card or send it straight to the recipient
  • Online payment through Sentoo in XCG
  • A unique code and QR code, sent by email
  • A scan page for staff behind a PIN, which checks validity and expiry
  • An overview of all gift cards sold
