Integrated Payment Gateways

CM Gift Card supports 2 popular payment processors: PayPal and Stripe

Future-Proof Promise: We are continually adding more payment methods. If you purchase CM Gift Card, we will build a payment method plugin for your specific desired payment gateway for free (no extra cost)!

Important Note on Physical Cards: CM Gift Card manages the sale and code generation. To sell physical gift cards, you must handle the physical steps: working with printing companies to produce the cards and managing shipping/delivery to recipients. These offline logistics are outside the component's control. For electronic gift cards, CM Gift Card handles the automated email delivery.
