Tired of "how much is left on my gift card?" emails? Let customers check it themselves.

The mess without it

January: the holiday gift cards come back. Your inbox fills with "Can you tell me my balance?" One customer sends a photo of the card, another the code with a typo. You look each one up in the admin and reply. A few shoppers never email; they just leave their carts.

How Maestro Giftcards fixes it

• Fewer support tickets. A balance-check widget on your online store answers the question instantly.
• Works on phones. Designed mobile-first, per the listing.
• Know who's checking. Every check is tracked, with analytics and custom styles on the Advanced plan.
• In checkout too, on Plus. The Business plan adds a balance checker in checkout for Shopify Plus stores.

Don't take our word for it: these are the app's own screenshots from its App Store listing.

Who should skip it (and who shouldn't)

• Good fit: stores that sell gift cards in volume (holidays, beauty, fashion) and get balance questions.
• Probably skip: if you sell a handful of gift cards a year.
• Be aware: the checkout balance checker is on the $19 plan and Shopify Plus only.

Verdict: should you install it?

Cheap, single-purpose and Built for Shopify (5.0 from 5 reviews). Once gift card questions show up in your inbox every week, $9 a month for unlimited checks pays for itself in saved replies. If you sell a handful of cards a year, skip it.
