What are Gift Links & Codes?

Want to send a Snappy gift but don’t have an email address or phone number? Gift Links and Codes allow you to generate unique, one-time-use URLs that you can distribute however you like—via Slack, LinkedIn, or even printed on a card! 🎁

Key Benefits:

  • No Data Required: Skip the spreadsheet of email addresses.

  • Versatile Distribution: Share links in a chat, a private message, or via a QR code.

  • Instant Access: You receive a file containing all your unique links as soon as you hit "Send."


How to Create Your Links

Follow these 5 steps to generate your gift file:

1. Select "Send Gifts": From your Dashboard, click the blue Send Gifts button. Choose your target countries and budget, and select your preferred collection.

2. Set Delivery Method: On the Gift Settings step, change the Delivery Method to Gift Codes/Links.

  • Tip: This is also where you can rename your campaign and set an expiration date.

3. Personalize the Reveal: Choose your digital wrapping experience and write your greeting.

  • Note: If you don’t have recipient names, we recommend removing the @firstname tag from your message so it feels natural for any user.

4. Add "Placeholders" as Recipients: * For specific people: Upload a file with just their first name.

  • For general use: If you don't know who will get the link yet, just type "Guest," "Winner," or "Friend" in the name field.

5. Review & Send: Once you select Send Gifts Now, Snappy will immediately email you a CSV file containing all of your unique gift links and codes. 🚀
