The context

Your customers know you, but when they need to buy a gift they shop online — because it's easier.

What if it were just as easy to gift an experience at your shop?

Localize gives your shop the same digital tools the big players have. Gift cards purchasable online in 60 seconds, with QR codes, delivered by email. You get immediate revenue and new customers walking through your door.

Why Localize

What changes for your shop.

Immediate revenue

Every gift card sold is upfront income. You don’t wait for the customer to walk in — the money arrives right away.

New customers

Whoever receives a gift card has to come to you. Every sale is a new customer walking through your door.

No hardware needed

Scan the QR code with your smartphone. No POS, no extra devices — just the phone already in your pocket.

Real-time analytics

A clear dashboard with sales, redemptions, and trends. Know exactly how you’re doing, no tutorial needed.

For all customers

QR code, printable email, readable code. Works for 25-year-olds and 70-year-olds alike.

Your neighborhood online

A digital storefront with map, photos, and description. Customers find you by searching their neighborhood.

What really happens

A birthday. A thank-you for a colleague. A tourist who wants to take home something real. A son far away who doesn't know what to buy but knows which shop is the right one.

Every gift card has a story. And every story ends at your door.

You receive immediate revenue. They receive a reason to discover you. It's not a generic voucher — it's your shop, chosen by name.

Immediate revenue

Money arrives when someone buys, not when someone walks in

Guaranteed new customers

A gift card is an appointment with your shop

+40% spending

Gift card holders spend beyond the card value*

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? Good.

We’re a platform built on a simple idea: the independent shops that make your city unique deserve world-class digital tools. We’re starting with gift cards — a way to sell online and bring new customers to your door. But we won’t stop there. We believe the future of commerce is local, and we’re building Localize to prove it.

Zero fixed costs, no subscription, no setup fee. You only pay a small commission on gift cards actually sold. If you don’t sell, you don’t pay.

Less than 10 minutes. Create your profile, add your shop with photos and a description, configure your gift cards — and you’re online. If you need help, we’ll guide you step by step.

The customer shows a QR code on their phone (or a printed code). You scan it with your smartphone — no extra hardware needed. The amount is deducted automatically.

Payment is processed immediately. Funds are transferred to your account according to standard Stripe timelines (typically 2–7 business days).

Absolutely. You set the minimum, maximum, and validity period. You have full control and can change everything at any time from your dashboard.

Payments are handled by Stripe, the same system used by millions of businesses worldwide. No card data is ever stored by Localize. PCI DSS compliance guaranteed.

The future is local.

Give your shop the same digital tools the big players have. Leave your details — we'll contact you when we launch.

No spam, just one email when we're ready.
