Which integration do I need first?

For most businesses, the first integration is Stripe because it enables online payment. Everything else depends on how your voucher sales should be processed after purchase.

Do I need an API to start?

No. You can start with a voucher shop link and Stripe payment. API or POS handovers are useful when your internal processes need structured data transfer.

Where can I see the costs?

The pricing page shows the Gutscheindirekt plans. Stripe fees are separate and can vary depending on payment method, card and country.

Integrations for your voucher shop

A voucher shop should be easy to launch, but it should not block you when your processes become more structured. Gutscheindirekt starts with the most important connection, Stripe payment, and leaves room for delivery, API or POS handovers when they make operational sense.

Integration does not have to mean complicated setup

Many businesses hesitate because “integration” sounds like a project with developers, specifications and weeks of coordination. For voucher sales, the first useful integration is much simpler: customers need to pay online, and the voucher shop needs to know when the payment was successful.

That is why Gutscheindirekt keeps the starting point light. You can publish the voucher shop through a link, which is explained on the voucher link page, and connect the technical pieces only where they improve the sales process.

Stripe as the payment integration

Stripe is the central payment integration for Gutscheindirekt. Customers can pay online, while the voucher flow can react to payment status and continue with voucher creation and delivery. The important part is that Gutscheindirekt does not need to store card data itself.

For the practical payment details, continue with connect your voucher shop with Stripe. If you are deciding between plans at the same time, the pricing page explains platform fees separately from Stripe fees.

Think of payment, delivery and status as one process

An integration is only useful when it improves the real customer journey. After payment, the voucher should be created, the email should be sent and the merchant should see what happened. If something temporary fails, status checks and retries help prevent every small issue from turning into manual work.

That is why the integration topic connects directly to automatic voucher delivery. Payment is the beginning, but delivery and status are what make the purchase feel finished.

When deeper integrations become relevant

A small salon or local boutique may need nothing more than Stripe, email delivery and a clean voucher overview. A busier restaurant, wellness business or retailer may later want voucher sales to appear in an internal system or be handed over to a POS process.

The deeper setup is covered on the API and POS page. It is best treated as a second step: launch the voucher shop first, learn how customers buy, and then connect the process where it removes real operational friction.

ready2order as the POS integration

Alongside Stripe as the payment integration, ready2order is now available as a concrete POS integration. New voucher sales are transferred automatically to ready2order and then synced back into the Gutscheindirekt portal.

The ready2order connection is free in Gutscheindirekt and is useful for businesses that already use ready2order as their POS system. Details are available on the ready2order integration page.
