Sell unique gift vouchers on Shopify

If you run a cafe, restaurant, salon, spa, or any physical business, selling gift vouchers online is one of the easiest ways to bring in new customers. But there's a catch: each voucher needs to be unique. You can't send the same PDF to every buyer — that's an invitation for fraud and duplicate redemptions.

The problem with manual voucher delivery

Most small businesses selling vouchers online end up doing this manually. A customer buys a voucher, and then someone on the team has to pick the next voucher PDF, attach it to an email, and send it. This works when you sell a few a week. It breaks down during busy periods — holidays, special offers, or when a voucher goes viral on social media.

Generic digital download apps don't solve this either. They send the same file to every customer, which defeats the purpose of a unique, redeemable voucher.

How Solara solves this

Solara File Delivery is built specifically for this use case. Here's how it works:

• Design your vouchers — create a set of PDF vouchers, each with a unique code, serial number, or barcode. Use Canva, Adobe, or any design tool you like.
• Bulk upload — upload all your voucher PDFs to Solara in one go. Whether it's 50 or 5,000, they upload in seconds.
• Map to your product — connect the file pool to your "Gift Voucher" product (or any variant) in your Shopify store.
• Automatic delivery — when a customer purchases, Solara picks the next available voucher and emails it as a PDF attachment. No manual work.

Why businesses choose Solara for gift vouchers

• No duplicates — each voucher is used once and marked as consumed. Two customers will never receive the same voucher.
• Instant delivery — customers receive their voucher by email within seconds of checkout.
• Inventory tracking — see how many unused vouchers remain at a glance. Upload more when you're running low.
• Custom emails — personalize the delivery email with your brand, a message, and the customer's name.
• No extra fees per delivery — unlike ticket platforms that charge per transaction, Solara has a simple flat pricing.

Perfect for

Cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, bistros, bakeries, salons, barbershops, spas, yoga studios, boutique hotels, florists, and any physical business that wants to sell gift vouchers through their Shopify store.
