We've tried reaching out to Govalo for support many times through different channels and have had no response. We're now forced to replace our gift card solution on Shopify. A disappointing experience.
Update May 13, 2025:
Govalo support responded to our support requests and successfully resolved the issue we were having.

So disappointed. We've been using this app for some time but suddenly can't get any response from customer service when something isn't working. They just don't respond at all! Looks like we'll have to find another gift card app.

No service / customer support. I've tried via live chat and email since November at least 5 separate times and each chat / email gets an automated reply that a support ticket's been opened but no replies! I planned ahead for Christmas gift card promotions, have been contacting Govalo since November, and now can't run my promotions. The app itself is great but the lack of support is not just a letdown but also costing me sales.
Hi there,
We’re truly sorry for the lack of follow-up you’ve experienced — we completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially when it’s impacted your holiday promotions. That’s not the experience we want for any of our users, and we sincerely apologize for the radio silence.
The app should support your business, not hinder it, and we want to make this right. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] so we can prioritize your case and work toward a resolution as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience and for sticking with us — we’re committed to turning this around.

Govalo is a great provider of Gift Card services with easy to use tools and easy to launch widgets. The team was also able to help us architect a solution to allowing usage of our physical gift cards on our website. This was a HUGE win for us as we do a decent amount of revenue through this channel. Govalo is also our first line of defense when it comes to gift card fraud!
The team is always releasing new features to help us drive gift card conversions and I could not imagine our collective brand portfolio without them.
That being said, we do have a few requests out for some features on importing and exporting data but nothing mission critical.
The worst customer service ever. For some reason the gift card code stopped being sent - I was advised that I needed to update DNS settings but despite multiple emails nobody ever replies.
I have been using the Govalo Gift Card service on my Shopify store for about a year now. The product is very easy to set up and use, and the customer service is great too. Recently, I had an issue with verifying my domain. Their technical team took the matter into their hands and went above and beyond to fix the issue! I highly recommend Govalo to anyone looking for a gift card solution for their store.
Words cannot express how much I love Govalo! The setup process is stress-free, customers are choosing these over the standard Shopify giftcards, and I really can't thank Rhian and her team enough for creating such a wonderful app for CPG brands and our customers! - E.
Fantastic app! I needed giftcards ASAP over the holidays, and it could not have possibly been easier to set up using Govalo. In a matter of minutes we were live. The app is slick, intuitive, and works exactly like it says it will. Our customers love it too!
This is the easiest to use Gift Card app I have found. The customer support is quick and very helpful.
Prior to Q4 holiday gifting season, we're pleased to have found Govalo to further optimize our eGift card experience. Govalo allows for custom greetings, specific delivery dates/times, sending directly to the recipient, and many more critical capabilities. The Govalo support team is incredibly responsive and helpful too!
