This is alongside a growing trend of self-gifters: 9% of UK consumers bought a gift card for themselves in the first six months of last year \u2013 up from 7.1% in the first half of 2024, the UK\u2019s Gift Card and Voucher Association\u2019s (GCVA) <em>State of the Nation 2025 <\/em>report shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fashioncheque\u2019s simple solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fashioncheque is a dedicated fashion gift card solution that aims to make it easy for brands and retailers to make the most of the gift card\u2019s growing commercial opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2008 in the Netherlands, today the business facilitates more than 1.5 million gift cards each year across Europe. It is currently accepted in more than 15,000 physical shops and online stores internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike others in the gift card sector, Fashioncheque focuses solely on fashion. It also partners with big-name brands and global retailers \u2013 including Adidas, Zalando, Foot Locker, H&amp;M and Jack &amp; Jones \u2013 as well as with local boutiques and independent fashion stores.<\/p>\n<p>The card and process works the same way in all stores, big or small, and can be used across different countries, creating endless gifting and shopping opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Fashioncheque focuses on creating an easy and frictionless experience for both gift giver and receiver, as well as for the brands and retailers it partners with, operating on a performance-based, commission-only model with no set-up, integration or ongoing fees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur partnership with Fashioncheque has enabled Zalando to reach new customer segments across multiple European markets,\u201d says Soren Hoj Thomsen, director of gift cards at the German online retailer. \u201cIt has extended our presence within the gift card landscape and supported our growth beyond our own direct channels. We see Fashioncheque as a solid longterm partner and expect to continue developing this collaboration across additional countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Debenhams Group joins Fashioncheque<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fashioncheque\u2019s latest UK signing is Debenhams Group. A direct API (application programming interface) integration means all 13 of the group\u2019s brands \u2013 including Boohoo, Boohoo Man, PrettyLittleThing and Karen Millen \u2013 are now plugged into the gift card network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Debenhams Group, we\u2019re relentlessly focused on making shopping with our brands easier, more inspiring and more rewarding for our customers,\u201d says CEO Dan Finley. \u201cOur ambition has always been to harness innovation and digital-first thinking to elevate the customer experience, and Fashioncheque gift cards align strongly with that vision by bringing together choice, convenience and a clear fashion focus. This partnership makes it easier for customers to discover and choose from our brands, while helping brand partners connect with customers in new ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur collaboration with the Debenhams tech team shows how easily Fashioncheque can be implemented at scale, creating a frictionless redemption experience for customers,\u201d adds Kevin Stone, head of fashion partner acquisition at Fashioncheque. \u201cThe integration was smooth and efficient, demonstrating the simplicity and scalability of our solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>High street giant Primark is also onboarding Fashioncheque to its stores in the second half of 2006.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why gift cards make commercial sense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGift cards are working particularly well for the fashion industry today because they align with how customers are actually shopping and spending in this category,\u201d explains Stone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA multi-brand fashion gift card gives the recipient choice, and this is much more thoughtful than imposing your taste as the purchaser. Buying clothing for someone else is risky because of size, fit, taste and brand preference. Fashioncheque gift cards remove that friction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a time when customer acquisition costs, margin pressure and operational complexity are just three of the challenges facing brands and retailers, Fashioncheque\u2019s UK launch offers a fresh take on a commercially lucrative solution.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_458833\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2570px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-458833 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-1000x666.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-748x499.jpeg 748w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-492x328.jpeg 492w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-1600x1067.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-1800x1200.jpeg 1800w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-391x260.jpeg 391w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-185x123.jpeg 185w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-230x153.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/11093257\/FashionCheque-2-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fashioncheque<\/p>\n\t<p class=\"inline_image_source\" style=\"max-width: 2570px;\"><p class=\"empty_inline_source\"><\/p><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Of the brands and retailers surveyed in the GCVA <em>State of the Nation 2025 <\/em>report, the large majority of businesses (81%) view gift cards as a healthy growth channel within their business, reflecting gift cards\u2019 continued commercial and strategic value in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most common benefits of gift cards are incremental revenue, not cannibalisation, and higher average order value,\u201d says Stone. \u201cThe brands and retailers we work with like that it\u2019s a performance-based cost model, as well as the customer acquisition element, with conversion being typically stronger than those from paid acquisition channels.\u201d Stone also argues that gift cards are a low-risk commercial model for brands and retailers because they align cost with performance, protect margin and require minimal upfront investment: \u201cOnce implemented, gift cards become an always-on revenue channel that scales with seasonal demand and gifting peaks without requiring ongoing investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopify Plus integration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fashioncheque has developed an app within the Shopify Plus App Store for Shopify merchants, enabling brand and retailer partners to accept Fashioncheque gift cards directly as a payment method.<\/p>\n<p>Integration is fast \u2013 potentially in as little as one business day. Furthermore, the app supports split payments that combine gift cards and card payments, and functions like a native gift card for each brand and retailer, reducing technical barriers for businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFashioncheque is not simply another gift card on the market, but a well-established, long-term growth partner for fashion retail,\u201d says Stone. \u201cIt helps deliver customers, spend and operational simplicity at a time when all three matter more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"factfile\">\n<p>To find out more about how Fashioncheque can benefit your business, contact Kevin Stone at <a href=\"mailto:kevin.stone@fashioncheque.com\">kevin.stone@fashioncheque.com<\/a> or call 07773 775092<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fashioncheque.com\/nl-nl\">fashioncheque.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far from an outdated retail addon, the classic gift card format is evolving to attract a new generation of savvy shoppers seeking to give the gift of personal style.
