Integrations
The cards have to work where you stand.
A gift card is only pleasant to receive if your staff can redeem it without switching screens in the middle of a payment. Kuvert isn't built into any till system yet. Redemption happens next to the till on a phone or a tablet, so you can accept gift cards from day one whatever till you have in the shop. We'd like to build the connection into the till itself, and we start once someone writes to us with the name of the system. Below is what works today and what is on the way. Each one has a status, so you can check for yourself.

Three ways in
You don't need to wait for anyone
Whatever till system you have, you can accept Kuvert gift cards and punch cards from today. Two of the three ways work now, and we are happy to build the third together with you.
- 01
Next to the till
You redeem in Kuvert on a phone or a tablet. It doesn't touch the till, so there's no till system it has to fit with. It works from day one whatever you've got, and an integration that arrives later doesn't make it obsolete.
- 02
Inside the till
The till system asks Kuvert for the balance and deducts the amount itself, so your staff stay on one screen. That connection needs work from both us and your till supplier, and we are happy to build it. Write to us with the name of the system.
- 03
Through your own API
If you have a developer, you can build it yourselves. Issue, look up, redeem and reverse with an API key from the dashboard, and get fourteen kinds of signed events sent to your own address.
Your system
We are happy to build for what you use
We don't list till systems and hotel systems until they work. A list of systems we could build for says nothing about what you can use today. So ask instead: write to us with the name of your system, and we will take it up and come back with what it takes.
- Write to us
- hej@kuvert.dk. The name of the till system or hotel system is enough to start, ideally together with who you have it through. There is no form and no case-handling system on the other end; it is an email to us.
- We look into it
- We read the vendor's documentation and say plainly what is possible, and what it takes from whom. We do that when the answer is no, too. We have already read through several of the systems on the Danish market.
- Your vendor has to come in
- A connection into the till also takes something from whoever made the till. They build far faster for a named customer who asks than for a provider they don't yet deal with. You get the groundwork and a text you can send on.
- Meanwhile you keep selling
- Neither of the two needs to be in place before you get started. Redemption next to the till works from day one, and the gift cards sit with Kuvert. So an integration that comes later does not change a single card already sold.
Systems
Payment
These aren't integrations you need to set up. They come with it. Kuvert handles payment through your own Stripe account, so MobilePay, cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all covered by the same connection, and the money lands straight with you.
- MobilePayReady
- Included from day one. The customer sees your business name in the MobilePay app, because the sale runs on your own Stripe account.
- Cards: Visa and MastercardReady
- Same connection. There's no separate redemption agreement to sign, and no gateway to pay for on the side.
- Apple Pay and Google PayReady
- Switched on in the shop. The customer pays with what the phone already has, instead of typing a card number on a small screen.
Systems
Bookkeeping
What your bookkeeper needs: each day’s sales in your own accounting program, so nobody has to type the figures over.
- e-conomicReady
- Every night Kuvert puts the previous day’s sales, refunds, fees and payouts into a journal in your e-conomic, with the voucher attached. Nothing is booked until your bookkeeper books it. You connect it yourself under «Bogholderi».
Systems
Measurement and automation
What happens around sales: what you can measure, and what you can make happen automatically when a gift card is bought or used.
- Google Tag ManagerReady
- Your own container ID in the shop, so sales are measured in your own Google Analytics. The container is loaded only when the customer has agreed to statistics.
- WebhooksReady
- Fourteen events, signed, to your own address. Everything else on the list is built on top of them, and you can use them directly without any middleman.
- Your own APIReady
- Issue, look up, redeem and reverse with an API key from the dashboard. The same API our own integrations use.
- ZapierComing
- Fourteen triggers and four actions. The triggers are webhooks, not polling, so your Zap runs the same second the card is used. The app is written and awaiting approval from Zapier.
What status means
The words, and what they cover
7 of the systems on the list you can enable today. The rest stay as they are, because we'd rather tell you straight than let a logo suggest something else.
- Ready
- Works today. You set it up yourself, and there's nothing to wait for.
- Coming
- Built and tested, but waiting for the vendor’s approval before everyone can switch it on. Write to us, and you will hear from us as soon as it is ready.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Kuvert work with my till system?
Yes, with all of them, because redemption does not happen in the till. It takes place in Kuvert on a phone or a tablet next to it, and that works whatever till is standing there. An integration directly in the till would make it faster for your staff; it doesn't decide whether you can sell and redeem gift cards.
What does an integration cost?
Nothing on top. You pay the same fees on what you sell, wherever the card is redeemed: in Kuvert today, and in your till the day the connection there is built. Some suppliers charge for having an open API themselves. That is an agreement between you and them.
Can you build an integration for my system?
Yes, we'd very much like to. Write to us at hej@kuvert.dk with the name of the system, and we'll take it up and get back to you with what's needed. It goes considerably faster when you ask your vendor yourself: a till system vendor would rather build for a named customer who asks than for an enquiry from a provider they don't yet deal with. We do the groundwork and write the text you can pass on.
What happens if we change till system?
The gift cards come with you. They live with Kuvert, not in the till, so balances, expiry dates and history are the same the next day. That's also why an integration will never put the card's value into the till system, not even when the system offers it.
Can a gift card be redeemed in two places by mistake?
No. There's one balance, and it lives with Kuvert. Every way in asks and draws from the same place, so two tills can't arrive at different answers about the same card. Today that is the screen next to the till and the API, and a till integration the day there is one.
