In their own words
Cadeau
Cadeau gives independent businesses a way to sell branded digital gift cards from their own websites. Merchants can add the gift card store with a script tag, then tailor its logo, colors, fonts, and card designs. The embed works with WordPress, Shopify, Angular, and static HTML sites. Payments run through Stripe Connect, with payouts sent to the merchant’s bank account. Recipients can save digital passes to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, where balances update in real time. A dashboard tracks sales, redemptions, and revenue, and the service supports multiple locations. Cadeau is bilingual in French and English and is aimed at Canadian restaurants, cafes, retailers, spas, salons, bakeries, and local shops. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan has no monthly fee and charges 3% per transaction. Cadeau says merchants can launch in under 10 minutes without a developer. It says personal data is stored in Canadian data centres, while Twilio processes phone numbers in the United States for SMS and verification.
