Photo: DOUGLAS Group DOUGLAS has opened a self-service online shop in Germany for bulk corporate gift-card orders, developed with payment provider [epay](https://giftcard.news/company/epay/). The beauty retailer announced the launch on October 20, adding a purchasing route for employers, customer-reward programs and other business gift buyers. [\[S1\]](#article-source-1) The announced range runs from €5 to €250 per voucher, with downloadable PDF vouchers or physical gift cards sent by mail. Major corporate customers will still have access to dedicated account managers. The practical change is an additional self-service ordering channel; the announcement does not say that account support is being withdrawn. [\[S1\]](#article-source-1) [\[S2\]](#article-source-2) Corporate sales already represented a material part of the retailer’s gift-card business before this launch. DOUGLAS puts B2B at around 20% of total gift-card sales in its 2024/25 financial year, alongside 70% through its own physical and digital channels and around 10% through third-party retailers.
