Frequently asked questions

Answers to what we get asked most, for restaurants and for customers. Legal matters are summarized here for guidance; the binding text is in the legal documents.

Selling gift cards under your brand.

For restaurants

How much does it cost?

A flat monthly fee, not a percentage: €59/mo for a single restaurant and €49/location/mo from two locations (VAT excluded). Includes a 14-day trial, no setup fee and no lock-in. Pay annually for 16% less.

Really 0% commission? How?

Yes. We don’t take a percentage of your sales. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account, so 100% of every gift card is yours. Our revenue is the flat monthly fee, nothing else. (Stripe charges its own payment-processing fees, separate from us.)

What do I need to get started?

Sign up (a few minutes) and connect your Stripe account. If you don’t have one, Stripe helps you create it on the spot. From there you can publish your store and start selling.

Can I use my brand and my own domain?

Yes. Your store carries your logo, colors and design, and can run under your own domain (white-label). The same applies to the emails and the gift-card PDF.

Do I sell from my own site or a separate one?

Both. You can embed the widget on your website (native integration, the customer stays on your site) and/or use the hosted store we provide (a link to share on social, QR or WhatsApp). The widget relies on that store for checkout and redemption.

Physical cards too?

Yes. You can manage physical cards alongside digital ones: batch import, activation and stock control, tied to the same balance.

What languages does it work in?

The platform and customer delivery are multi-language (Spanish and English, extensible to more). The email and PDF go out in each card’s delivery language.

Who gets the money and when?

You collect it directly into your Stripe account, at the moment of sale. It’s upfront revenue: the customer pays today and redeems later.

How does it work with VAT and accounting?

The card amount is balance to be redeemed; applicable taxes are applied at redemption according to the product or service. You have exportable reports for your accounting. This is not tax advice: check with your advisor for your specific case. More detail in the Terms.

Is there a lock-in? Can I cancel?

No lock-in. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard; the service stays active until the end of the period already paid.

What about data protection (GDPR)?

We process data in line with the GDPR. In the relationship with your customers, the restaurant is the controller and we act as processor. See the detail and sub-processors in the Privacy Policy.

Buying, gifting and redeeming a card.

For customers

How do I buy a gift card?

From the restaurant’s store (or the widget on its website): choose the amount, add the recipient’s details and a message, and pay securely by card through Stripe.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe, one of the world’s most secure payment gateways (PCI-DSS compliant). We never see or store your card details: Stripe handles them directly in its secure environment.

How do I receive it?

By email, usually instantly after payment, with a PDF and a code + QR. If it doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder and write to support@txiptxip.com. Make sure the recipient’s email is correct.

How do I redeem it?

Show the code or QR at the restaurant when you pay. The card can be redeemed one or more times until the balance is used up.

Can I check the balance?

Yes. On the store’s “Check balance” page, enter the card code to see the available balance and validity.

Does the card expire?

Validity is shown at purchase and on the card itself. It is managed by the issuing restaurant (including any extensions). Detail in the Terms.

Can I use it in several visits? Does the balance carry over?

Yes, if the restaurant allows partial redemption: you spend part and the remaining balance stays on the card for next time.

Can I gift it or pass it to someone else?

Yes: the card is meant for gifting. If the restaurant allows it, you can also transfer it to another person from the card itself.

Can I return it or withdraw from the purchase?

As a consumer you have 14 calendar days to withdraw without justification (Spanish RDL 1/2007). Notify support@txiptxip.com within the deadline and we refund within 14 days. Exception: it does not apply if the card has already been fully or partially redeemed. See Terms.

What if I lose it or it’s stolen?

The code is like cash: keep it safe and don’t share it. We are not responsible for lost, stolen or shared cards. More info in the Terms.

The card doesn’t work or didn’t arrive — what do I do?

Write to support@txiptxip.com. If it’s a platform technical fault, we resolve it (including a refund where appropriate). Claims about the restaurant’s product or service go to the restaurant. See Terms.

Can I exchange it for cash?

No, unless the law or the issuing restaurant provides otherwise. The card is redeemed for the restaurant’s products or services.
