Givy Enables Multi-Currency Gift Cards on Shopify

Givy, a Shopify ecommerce app, now allows merchants to sell gift cards in any supported currency, providing a seamless experience for customers

 

Givy, a leading gifting solution provider for Shopify merchants, today announced the launch of the first comprehensive multi-currency gift card solution for Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. This groundbreaking feature addresses a critical challenge faced by international merchants: the ability to offer gift cards in multiple currencies with fixed, localized denominations while maintaining price consistency and customer experience across all markets.

The new functionality represents a significant advancement in ecommerce gifting capabilities, enabling merchants to set specific gift card denominations for each supported currency rather than relying on automated conversions that result in irregular amounts. This innovation arrives at a crucial time for global retailers preparing for the holiday shopping season, when gift card sales traditionally account for a substantial portion of annual revenue.

Addressing a Critical Gap in International Commerce
International Shopify merchants have long faced significant obstacles in offering gift cards across multiple currencies. The traditional approach, which converts gift card values from the merchant’s default currency into other currencies, has created numerous friction points in the customer experience. These conversions typically result in unrounded amounts that appear unprofessional and can confuse customers – for example, a gift card intended as a €50 gift appearing as €51.37 due to currency conversion.

Furthermore, fluctuating exchange rates have historically created additional complications, causing the effective value of gift cards to vary over time. This instability has led to customer dissatisfaction when gift card balances unexpectedly fail to cover intended purchases due to rate changes, ultimately impacting merchant reputation and customer loyalty.

Givy’s solution eliminates these pain points by allowing merchants to establish fixed, rounded denominations for every currency they support. Merchants can now offer $50 gift cards to US customers, €50 gift cards to European customers, and £50 gift cards to UK customers, with each maintaining its intended value and professional appearance throughout the customer journey.

Advanced Technology Ensuring Consistency and Accuracy
The platform’s sophisticated approach to multi-currency support extends beyond simple denomination management. Givy continuously updates gift card balances based on current conversion rates, ensuring that value remains consistent and fair across all supported currencies. This dynamic balance management occurs seamlessly in the background, maintaining the customer-facing simplicity while protecting both merchant margins and customer value.

The customer experience has been meticulously designed to maintain consistency throughout the purchase and redemption journey. Gift card amounts are displayed in the customer’s selected currency from initial browsing through final checkout, eliminating confusion and building trust in the transaction process. This consistency is particularly valuable for gift purchases, where the purchaser’s confidence in the gift’s value directly impacts conversion rates.

“Selling gift cards in multiple currencies on Shopify has been a struggle for merchants selling internationally,” states JP Tetrault, co-founder of Givy. “As a leader in the gifting space, our team wanted to offer an elegant solution for customers, and a simple implementation for merchants – we achieved this with this release.”

Strategic Timing for Peak Gifting Season
The introduction of this feature aligns strategically with the approaching holiday shopping season, when gift card sales experience their highest volumes. Industry research indicates that gift card purchases during November and December can represent up to 30% of annual gift card revenue, making a streamlined, professional gifting experience essential for maximizing seasonal opportunities.

A sophisticated gifting flow becomes particularly critical during high-volume periods when customer expectations are elevated and competition for wallet share intensifies. Merchants operating across multiple markets require solutions that can deliver consistent, localized experiences without adding operational complexity. Givy’s multi-currency feature addresses this need by providing a turnkey solution that requires minimal configuration while delivering maximum impact.

The platform also enhances the gift-giving experience through integrated features that facilitate gift card presentation and delivery. Customers can easily personalize their gifts with custom messages, schedule delivery timing, and select from professionally designed templates, transforming a simple transaction into a meaningful gesture. These capabilities are especially valuable for international gifting, where the ability to send appropriately valued gifts across borders opens new revenue opportunities for merchants.

Seamless Integration with Shopify Markets
Givy’s multi-currency functionality has been architected to integrate seamlessly with Shopify’s Markets infrastructure, creating a comprehensive solution for international commerce. Shopify Markets enables merchants to customize their store experience for different regions, including currency, language, and pricing strategies. Givy extends this localization to gift cards, ensuring that this important product category receives the same level of market-specific optimization as physical products.

This integration approach means that merchants who have already invested in Shopify Markets configuration can immediately benefit from multi-currency gift cards without additional technical implementation. The solution respects existing market settings and automatically adapts to merchant-defined currency preferences, creating a cohesive international selling strategy.

The compatibility with Shopify’s native infrastructure also ensures that the solution scales effectively as merchants expand into new markets. As businesses add support for additional currencies or regions, Givy’s gift card functionality automatically extends to these new markets, maintaining consistency and reducing the operational burden of international expansion.

Givy: Pioneering Innovation in Digital Gifting
Givy has established itself as an innovative force in the Shopify ecosystem by consistently delivering functionality that addresses real merchant challenges while enhancing the customer experience. The company’s approach to gift card solutions goes beyond basic functionality to consider the emotional and practical aspects of gifting in modern ecommerce.

As an innovative gifting solution for Shopify merchants, Givy delivers unique functionality not found in other offerings. The platform is currently trusted by thousands of Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants across diverse industries and markets, from emerging brands testing international waters to established enterprises requiring sophisticated gifting capabilities at scale.

The company’s commitment to innovation is evidenced by its comprehensive approach to solving the multi-currency challenge. Rather than offering a superficial solution that merely displays different currency symbols, Givy has developed a robust system that addresses the full lifecycle of multi-currency gift cards, from purchase through redemption, while considering factors such as exchange rate fluctuations, tax implications, and accounting requirements.

Implications for Global Ecommerce Growth
This launch represents a significant milestone in the evolution of international ecommerce infrastructure. As online commerce increasingly transcends geographical boundaries, the tools and platforms supporting global trade must evolve to meet rising customer expectations for localized, professional experiences. Gift cards, as both a product category and a customer acquisition tool, play a crucial role in this evolution.

For established international merchants, Givy’s multi-currency solution removes a persistent source of customer friction and operational complexity. The ability to offer professionally presented, accurately valued gift cards in any supported currency enhances brand perception and reduces support inquiries related to gift card values and conversions.

For merchants considering international expansion, the availability of sophisticated multi-currency gift card functionality reduces barriers to entry. The knowledge that gift cards – often a merchant’s most profitable product category – can be offered seamlessly across all markets provides confidence in international growth strategies.

The solution also has implications for customer behavior and market dynamics. By enabling true cross-border gifting with appropriate currency handling, merchants can tap into new customer segments and gifting occasions. International students, expatriates, and global families represent significant untapped markets for merchants capable of delivering seamless multi-currency gifting experiences.

Implementation and Availability
Givy’s multi-currency gift card feature is now available to all Givy users on Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. The implementation process has been designed for simplicity, with automatic detection of Shopify Markets configuration and intuitive setup workflows that enable merchants to configure multi-currency gift cards in minutes rather than hours.

Givy’s multi-currency gift card solution represents not just a feature release, but a commitment to advancing the infrastructure that enables successful global commerce.

Duron Ontario Calls for Action to Support Skilled Trades and Long-Lasting Infrastructure

Published

on

September 13, 2025

By

Ontario, Canada, 13th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Duron Ontario Ltd., a trusted name in construction since 1959, is speaking out on the urgent need to value skilled trades and invest in durable infrastructure. Featured in a recent in-depth interview, the company shares lessons from over six decades in the industry — from landmark projects like the Scotiabank Arena and the Royal Ontario Museum to the development of DuroMastic, their Canadian-made polymer-modified mastic asphalt.

“You can’t cut corners. That’s been our rule since day one,” said a Duron Ontario spokesperson. “And it only works when your team is stable, skilled, and respected.”

A Labour Shortage With Real Risks

According to BuildForce Canada, 257,000 construction workers are set to retire by 2032, with fewer young people entering the trades. This shortage threatens Canada’s ability to maintain safe, long-lasting infrastructure. Duron warns that the push for cheaper, faster construction can lead to safety hazards, costly rework, and premature failures.

“Fair wages are a competitive advantage,” the spokesperson added. “Many see them as a cost. We see them as insurance against turnover and poor workmanship.”

Innovation Backed by Experience

Duron’s DuroMastic product was inspired by proven European methods and adapted for Canadian conditions. It has lasted over eight years in high-traffic sites like the Toronto Eaton Centre without major repairs, outperforming conventional asphalt.

The company’s approach is simple but rigorous: test innovations in the field before making them standard, gather feedback from crews, and track performance across seasons. “Real innovation isn’t just from the lab — it’s from the job site,” they said.

A Call to Action

Duron Ontario believes lasting change will require effort from the public, policymakers, and industry alike. They encourage Canadians to:

  • Value skilled trades as essential, respected careers.

  • Hire contractors committed to fair wages and high standards.

  • Ask questions about materials, labour practices, and long-term quality.

  • Support youth considering careers in the trades.

“We don’t just build structures. We help build communities,” the spokesperson said. “Everyone can do something — whether it’s hiring responsibly, advocating for better standards, or encouraging the next generation of tradespeople.”

About Duron Ontario Ltd.

Founded in 1959, Duron Ontario Ltd. specializes in flooring, waterproofing, roofing, and restoration, with a portfolio that spans major public landmarks and high-profile commercial clients. The company is a Certified Living Wage Employer, unionized, and committed to craftsmanship, innovation, and accountability.

When to Pause, When to Push: How Dee Agarwal Navigates High-Stakes Decisions

Published

5 minutes ago

on

September 13, 2025

By

Dee Agarwal reveals how mastering the balance between strategic pausing and decisive action enables leaders to navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity, confidence, and long-term impact.

Atlanta, GA, 13th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Every leader faces moments when hesitation costs millions and haste destroys everything. Yet, most never learn to navigate these crossroads effectively. The ability to discern when to hold back and when to move forward with conviction is a skill that many leaders aspire to master, but few truly refine. According to business strategist and entrepreneur Dee Agarwal, the art of knowing when to pause and when to push is not about following a rigid formula. It’s about developing a disciplined intuition rooted in clarity, perspective, and timing.


The Power of Strategic Pausing

In an age of rapid decision-making and instant results, Dee Agarwal believes that the discipline of pausing is often underestimated. “People equate speed with decisiveness,” he explains. “But pausing, even briefly, can create space for clarity. It prevents you from reacting impulsively to noise and helps ensure your choices align with your larger goals.”

Pausing, however, does not mean procrastination. Dee Agarwal stresses the distinction. “Procrastination stems from fear or uncertainty. A pause, on the other hand, is intentional. It’s an active step to assess variables, gather input, and check your biases before making a move.”

He likens strategic pausing to a pilot reviewing instruments mid-flight. The plane is moving, but the pilot takes a moment to double-check before shifting altitude. “That pause can mean the difference between turbulence and a smooth flight,” Dee Agarwal says.

Knowing When to Push

While pausing has its virtues, Dee Agarwal notes that decisive action is equally essential, particularly when opportunities are fleeting. “Momentum has its own kind of value,” he says. “If you wait too long to act, doors close, competitors advance, and your team loses confidence. There are moments when hesitation is riskier than moving forward.”

For Dee Agarwal, pushing ahead often hinges on two factors: confidence in the available information and alignment with long-term objectives. “You don’t need perfect data to act. You need sufficient clarity to believe that forward motion will create more opportunities than standing still.”

He emphasizes that pushing is not about aggression, but about conviction. “Leaders who push at the right moment create a sense of inevitability. They inspire their teams by showing that the path forward, while uncertain, is worth committing to.”

Signals That It’s Time to Pause

Dee Agarwal identifies several signals that suggest a pause is warranted:

  • Emotional charge: “If your decision is driven primarily by frustration, excitement, or fear, step back. Emotions cloud judgment.”

  • Unclear criteria for success: “If you can’t define what success looks like in measurable terms, you may need more reflection.”

  • Uneven alignment: “If stakeholders or team members are fundamentally misaligned, pushing prematurely may only deepen resistance.”

He adds that a pause does not need to be overly long. Sometimes, 24 hours of reflection or a single candid conversation is enough to recalibrate perspective.

Signals That It’s Time to Push

Conversely, Dee Agarwal points to moments when waiting could be more damaging than acting:

  • Information plateau: “If more research won’t materially change your decision, it’s time to move.”

  • Window of opportunity: “Markets, clients, and competitors don’t wait for your comfort level. If the window is closing, act.”

  • Team readiness: “When your team has energy, alignment, and momentum, delaying can deflate morale.”

“Leaders must recognize that perfect certainty is a myth,” Dee Agarwal says. “If you’re 70% sure and waiting for the other 30% would cost you the opportunity, it’s time to push.”

Creating a Culture That Supports Both Pausing and Pushing

Beyond his personal approach, Dee Agarwal emphasizes the importance of organizational culture in navigating high-stakes choices. “Leaders don’t make decisions in isolation. If your team feels punished for pausing, they’ll rush. If they feel punished for acting, they’ll hesitate. The real goal is to create psychological safety for both reflection and bold action.”

He advises leaders to celebrate not only outcomes but also the quality of their decision-making processes. “When people see that thoughtfulness is valued, they’re more likely to pause productively. When they see that courage is valued, they’re more likely to push when it matters.”

The Long Game

Ultimately, Dee Agarwal frames pausing and pushing as complementary, not opposing, forces. “Think of it like breathing. You inhale, you exhale. Pausing is the inhale. It brings in information and perspective. Pushing is the exhale. It releases energy into the world. Both are necessary to keep moving forward.”

For leaders facing high-stakes decisions, the lesson is clear: the wisdom lies not in always charging ahead or always waiting, but in knowing which moment calls for which move. As Dee Agarwal puts it, “Success doesn’t come from avoiding mistakes. It comes from cultivating the judgment to know when to wait, and the courage to act when the time is right.”
