Printable Shopify gift cards
On Shopify a gift card arrives as a code by email. With Kartuu you sell it as its own gift card product, and every purchase becomes a print-ready PDF: one A4 or US Letter sheet with fold marks, in your design, with name, message and redemption code.
Bought in your shop. Folded on the table.
One A4 or US Letter sheet, made for folding
Every gift card you sell becomes a print-ready PDF: one A4 sheet with fold marks, or US Letter for shops in the US and Canada. For Letter, choose “English (US)” under Settings in “Language and paper size”; new shops in the US and Canada have it set by default. The card is scaled down by about 6% and centred, so the folds sit on the middle of the sheet. Folded once it is a two-page card, folded twice a four-page cross fold. You choose the fold when you design the card. The folding instructions are on the card’s download page and, with email delivery, a second attachment to the email.
Name, message and code on the card
On the product page the buyer enters who the gift card is for, who it is from and what it should say. Kartuu sets that, with the redemption code, into your design. A design without the gift card code cannot be saved.
The buyer downloads it, and so can you
After paying, the buyer downloads the card as a PDF from the Kartuu block on the thank-you page; that block appears in English, or in German if the buyer shops in German. Every PDF is also under Orders in Kartuu, handy for gift cards you hand over in the shop.
A real Shopify gift card for amount vouchers
For every amount voucher Kartuu creates its own Shopify gift card, redeemed at checkout like any other. Service vouchers, say three hours of massage, are not gift cards; you redeem those yourself.

Printing questions, answered
Can you print Shopify gift cards?
Shopify sends a gift card as an email with the code and a link to a gift card page styled by your theme; depending on the theme, that page can be printed. A folded card in your own design is not part of it. Kartuu creates its own gift card product for that, issues a real Shopify gift card for every paid amount voucher and puts its code on a card in your design, as a print-ready PDF.
How does the buyer get the PDF?
Through the Kartuu block on the thank-you and order status pages, where they download the card. With email delivery set up and the recipient’s address entered by the buyer, the card also goes to the recipient by email: out of the box once you release it, and on a day the buyer picks if they like. Without the block you hand the card over yourself: every PDF is under Orders.
Can I print a Shopify gift card and post it?
Yes. Every PDF is under Orders in Kartuu. You download it, print it at original size, fold it and put it in the parcel, in an envelope or on the counter. Printing and posting happen at your end; Kartuu supplies the PDF.
Can the gift card be attached to the email as a PDF?
Yes, if you have set up email delivery through your own mailbox and the buyer enters the recipient’s address. The email carries a link to the card and the PDF as an attachment, with the folding instructions as a second attachment. The redemption code is only on the card, not in the text of the email. Out of the box you release every email by hand.
Does the recipient have to print the card?
No. The redemption code is on the card, and the card can be shown on screen too; with email delivery it arrives as a PDF attachment. The card is made for folding, though: anyone who wants to give it rather than forward it prints it out.
Is every printed gift card unique?
For amount vouchers, yes: every card belongs to its own Shopify gift card with its own code, and Shopify keeps the balance. If the order is cancelled or refunded, Kartuu deactivates the gift card. Service vouchers are not gift cards; you redeem those yourself.
Can I choose the background, logo and text myself?
Yes. You start from one of six templates or design freely: move, rotate and resize elements, swap images, add text, shapes, images, your logo and shop name, and set text in one of eight handwriting typefaces. Amount or service, gift card code, recipient, sender, message, shop name and expiry date are placeholders that Kartuu fills in.
Do I need my own mail server?
No. Without email delivery the buyer gets the card on the thank-you page. If it should reach the recipient by email, you enter the SMTP details of your own mailbox so the email comes from your shop. Out of the box you release every email by hand.
How much does Kartuu cost?
Two plans with the same features: Kartuu Free with no monthly fee and 2.9% of the value of each gift card issued instead, or Kartuu Standard at US$19 per month or US$199 per year with no revenue share, the first 30 days free. Amounts as listed in the Shopify App Store, as of 6 October 2026. Kartuu Standard plus VAT, both plans billed through your Shopify invoice. Offered to businesses only. There is no limit on the number of gift cards.
