Card-Linked Gifting, Reimagined: A Frictionless User Experience

Designing a frictionless way to send and receive gifts with card-linked technology.

Overview

The card-linked gifting dashboard was designed to make managing rewards easy for clients. It lets them fund their accounts and check deposit details quickly. Clients can also see a list of supported merchants for their reward programs, get an overview of their users, and look into specific gift details. The goal was to create a simple, user-friendly way to manage rewards.

Card-linked gifting lets you send gifts that link directly to someone's debit or credit card. The recipient can use their own card at participating stores. When they make a purchase, the gift amount is automatically applied, making it easy and hassle-free.

Goals

Provide a user-friendly portal where partner stakeholders of the card-linked gifting (CLG) platform can easily view and manage all aspects of their integration. This interface aims to simplify the management process, enhance transparency, and enable partners to make data-driven decisions to optimize their gifting programs.

Authentication

The login process uses multi-factor authentication for extra security. After entering their password, users verify their identity with a code sent to their work email.

First Time Login

When first logging in, users enter their name, email, and the temporary password sent to them by email. They then complete the setup by creating a new password.
