What it is

Tango provides business tools for rewards, incentives, gift cards, prepaid cards, payouts, and charitable donations through web and API access. Its free self-serve portal supports individual or bulk reward orders, delivery by email or SMS, and tracking for delivery and funding history. Tango says its catalog spans more than 3,100 gift cards, prepaid cards, donations, and payouts across more than 225 countries and over 60 currencies. Reward Link lets recipients choose from more than 100 gift cards, with digital or printed delivery. The RESTful JSON API can automate reward delivery and manage customers, accounts, orders, and funding; its quick start guide advises calling endpoints at 1 TPS or less. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Qualtrics, Zapier, and HubSpot, and Tango says it connects with 1,500+ apps in Workato’s directory. The self-serve portal has no subscription fee or order minimums in most cases, but customers pay the face value of rewards and applicable transaction fees; some products may have fees. Promo Link costs $0.25, plus the reward’s face value.
