Accepting giftcards via Paygarden

Vendo allows your customers to pay for your content using gift cards from major brands.

We've have partnered with PayGarden which is a company that works with leading gift card networks, they allow you to accept payments from gift cards from hundreds of top brands in the USA.

When a user decides to buy content using a Gift Card via PayGarden we redirect the user to an external page where the user enters the GC details (brand, value, code, etc) and confirms the action. Then PayGarden gets the value, takes its fee and uses the result to inform Vendo the available amount for a non-recurring membership.

Availability

PayGarden is integrated with USA gift card networks only.
