The buyer company hands out printed cards, and each card carries one code like KRMH-7P2X. Every recipient opens one permanent shared link, enters the code, picks one gift from a curated set with no prices shown, and types their own address. A real $0 order lands in the merchant's Shopify admin, and the code dies on use. Budgets and gift levels are set per company, codes are tracked with a CSV export, and codes can auto-mint from a paid Shopify order. A Danish gift retailer, [OnlyByGrace](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/case-studies/onlybygrace-corporate-gifting), runs the whole flow in Danish. Giftnote started as a gift message and gift card app. Its Pro plan adds a Multi Gift portal where a corporate buyer sends to up to 1,000 recipients in one checkout, with up to 3 branded storefronts on custom domains, per-recipient shipping and tax, and exports. The listing does not say whether the buyer or the recipient enters addresses, and it does not mention CSV upload. We did not guess. ## When to pick Giftnote - Your corporate buyer wants to place one checkout and send to many people. - You want the lower published price: $99 a month plus 2% on multi-address orders, against $249. - You want gift cards, store credit and gift messages by SMS or email. - You want the larger review base: 171 reviews at 5.0. ## When to pick Seed - The buyer pays once and hands out printed cards. You do not want to run one big checkout. - Recipients should pick their own gift from a curated set with no prices shown. - Each recipient types their own address, so nobody has to collect a list. - You want a flat monthly price with no per-order or percentage fees. - You want one-time codes that die on use, with tracking and a CSV. ## What Seed does not do - Seed does not take an address list from the buyer. The recipient types their own address, so it does not fit a buyer who already has every address in a spreadsheet. - Seed has no multi-address checkout where one shopper pays and ships to many people in one cart. - Seed has 3 App Store reviews. That is a small sample next to the review counts above. ## Where to go next Related: [Seed corporate gifting](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/corporate-gifting), [best corporate gifting apps for Shopify](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/blog/best-corporate-gifting-apps-shopify), and the [OnlyByGrace case study](https://www.seedinfluencers.com/case-studies/onlybygrace-corporate-gifting).
