Recipient delivery / virtual cards
Deliver the card benefit with the information needed to use it
A virtual payout card provides card information digitally rather than as a physical card. The delivery experience must explain access, applicable conditions, and help without implying that every virtual card works the same way.
Distinguish the card from the notification
The notification tells a recipient that a step is available. It is not the card itself, and a sent message does not prove that the customer accessed the benefit. The delivery owner should be able to explain the current stage without sharing sensitive card information with the merchant.
Prepare the recipient handoff
For a promotion connected to an eligible Shopify purchase, the handoff should answer these practical questions.
- Which store and promotion does this benefit relate to?
- What action is required to access the card?
- Where can the recipient read the card conditions?
- Who handles an access issue or a card-use question?
Avoid assumptions about virtual format
Digital card information does not by itself guarantee mobile-wallet compatibility, use at every merchant, or immediate availability. The issuer's card terms and instructions determine the actual experience. Present a virtual card as the specific promotional benefit offered, not as credit or an unrestricted payment promise.
Plan for clear delivery
Plan a clear path from purchase to promotional payout.
Discuss the offer, customer expectations and the next program decision.
