Bulk Gift Card API — Volume Discounts for B2B | Rewordin

A bulk gift card API is a programmatic interface that lets a business send large volumes of digital gift cards directly from its own software — without a human clicking “Buy” for each one. Instead of browsing a marketplace, picking a brand, paying with a credit card, and forwarding an email, your system makes a single POST /v1/orders call with a list of recipients, and the gift cards are delivered automatically.

The “bulk” part is what separates a true API from a one-off web purchase. A bulk API is built for repeated, automated, high-volume use: it includes things you would never need for a single gift card (idempotency keys, signed webhooks, batch endpoints, sandbox environments, audit logs) and it includes things you would never get from a one-off flow (volume discount tiers, batch reconciliation, contracted pricing). The unit economics change once you cross a few hundred cards a month, and the engineering shape of the integration changes once you cross a few thousand.

Rewordin sits in this market as a B2B gift card supplier with a developer-first API. We carry 9 of the highest-demand brands (Steam, Razer Gold, PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, Apple, iTunes, Amazon, and Airbnb) and the full 5,000+ brand catalog behind the same endpoint. We do not white-label a third-party catalog — every brand is a direct partnership, with its own delivery SLA, regional availability, and reconciliation flow. If you are sourcing gift cards at scale, that distinction is the whole game.

How the discount actually applies

When you create an order via the API, the response includes a unit_price for each line item. That price is the discounted price for your current tier — not the list price. If you cross into a higher tier mid-month, the next order automatically uses the new tier’s pricing. You never negotiate the discount; you simply earn it as your volume grows. The dashboard always shows your current tier, the next tier’s threshold, and how many cards you need to clear it.

Locking rates for predictable budgeting

For finance teams that don’t want surprise cost variance on a quarterly accrual, Enterprise customers can lock their per-card rate forward by quarter. The rate you see at the moment of lock is the rate you pay on every order for the next 90 days, regardless of tier drift. This is standard for our Enterprise rollouts running a $50K+ monthly volume.

The common thread across these use cases: the gift card is the output of something else that already happens in your product. A user converts points, closes a deal, hits a milestone, or refers a friend — and our API turns that event into a delivery, end-to-end. The HR-tech and SaaS patterns in particular pair well with our broader recognition playbook for tech teams and the points-based vs. gift card analysis in the blog. If you are weighing gift cards against cash bonuses, the case for branded rewards is worth a read.

For HR-tech and People Ops teams building a budget case, the CFO-ready budget framework walks through the exact spreadsheet a finance team needs to greenlight a programmatic rewards program. And if you are choosing between building in-house vs. using an API, the procurement buyer’s guide lays out the build-vs-buy math.

Most procurement and security teams can complete their review of Rewordin in under two weeks, using a standard SIG-lite questionnaire plus our public trust portal. We share our latest penetration-test summary, SOC 2 progress notes, sub-processor list, and DPA on request under NDA. For SSO, HRIS, and SCIM integrations, we ship SAML 2.0 and OIDC out of the box and SCIM 2.0 for user provisioning. Every event the API emits is also available in the real-time analytics dashboard — order-level reconciliation, per-recipient status, brand-level mix, and cost-center rollups.
