It does not depict the B2B Gift Card Generator app or a tested issuance batch. Photo: SpotOn / Unsplash [Software Etc. Limited](https://giftcard.news/company/software-etc-limited/) launched B2B Gift Card Generator in the [Shopify](https://giftcard.news/company/shopify/) App Store on September 21, 2026, offering merchants a bulk issuing and code-export route for corporate sales, resellers and staff rewards. The app's current listing describes batches of up to 1,000 merchant gift cards. The developer says it creates the cards through Shopify's API and exports complete codes in a password-protected, AES-256 encrypted file. These are merchant-store gift cards, rather than a separate general-purpose payment instrument. Redemption follows the store's gift-card acceptance arrangements, according to the developer. The handling of exported codes is distinct from the life of the issued balance. The developer says it deletes stored codes and export files after seven days; that deletion does not cancel the gift cards. Stopping redemption requires a separate batch-deactivation action. The current listing offers a free plan with a maximum of 15 cards per batch and a Full access plan at USD 19.99 per 30-day billing period with a maximum of 1,000 cards per batch. The developer says the number of batches is unlimited, so these are per-batch limits, not monthly issuance quotas. These are terms checked on October 18, not independently verified launch-day prices.
