Kard

Digital cards & gifting

A wall of cards, not a pile of envelopes.

Invite your guests to give you a gift the modern way, with our digital (k)ard and payment portal.

Begin your Kard box

Guests cover the card. You pay nothing by default.

Digital cards last forever

Bespoke cards from your loved ones, all in one place.

Allow your guests to express their creativity with heartfelt cards made especially for you, and look back on cherished memories of the day with your very own digital gallery wall.

Why Kard?

“I created Kard to solve a problem I had when I was going to events and later getting married. It just didn’t make sense to me that in the age of ordering an Uber, there wasn’t an easier way to send a gift.”

Founder, Kard

How Kard solves the problem

Traditional gift registries and paper invitations can be costly, impersonal, and environmentally unfriendly. Kard offers a modern platform where guests send personalised digital cards and monetary gifts, simplifying the gift-giving process and enhancing the host’s experience.

  1. Create your event

    Name it and add the date. Takes a minute.

  2. Share one link

    Text it, or print the QR code for the table where the card box used to go.

  3. Watch it arrive

    Every gift shows up with a name, an amount, and a card you can keep.

Everything else that ships with Kard

  • A link to every card

    Guests get a permanent link to the card they sent you, and you keep the whole gallery.

  • Signage for the card table

    Print-ready QR signs in three sizes, in your event's name, for the table where the box used to go.

  • Thank-yous, already started

    Every note is drafted from what that guest actually wrote, tracked as you send it, and logged in your spreadsheet.

Three kinds of card

The guest chooses and pays for the card. It never comes out of your gift.

You decide who covers the fee

No competitor offers this: when you set up your event, choose whether guests cover Stripe’s processing fee, split it with you, or you cover it yourselves. Same $100 gift, same photo card, three honest outcomes. There is no subscription or listing fee either way.

Questions

How much of the gift do we receive?
It depends on the option you choose for your event. If guests cover the processing fee, you receive the full $100 on a $100 gift. If you split it with them, you receive $97.80. If you cover it yourselves, you receive $95.60. You set this once per event, not per gift.
What does it cost us?
Nothing by default. There is no subscription and no listing fee, and the guest always buys their own card. The only cost is whatever share of the 4% processing fee you choose to absorb, which is none of it if you pick the default.
Do guests need an account?
No. They open your link, pick a card, write a note, and pay.
When does the money arrive?
Cash out whenever you like. Transfers usually reach your bank within two business days.
Can we see who gave what?
Yes. Every gift is listed with the guest, the amount, and their card. Download the whole list as a spreadsheet.
