Navarre Chamber Launches #ShopNavarreFirst E-Gift Card Program

The Navarre Beach Area Chamber is proud to announce the introduction of a new Gift Local E-Gift Card – a very user-friendly and robust platform making it easy for merchants and card holders to help drive business in the Navarre area.

“The Chamber is always looking for innovative ways to help grow our members’ businesses and build community,” said Chamber President Chanda Ryan.  “Participating members can honor the e-card to help drive the local economy and keep spending local.”

Using Yiftee as our new gift card technology partner, Navarre Chamber members will be hearing much more about the new #ShopNavarreFirst E-Gift Card in the weeks and months ahead.  Consumers can purchase the Card as gifts or for self-use, and companies can use it for employee rewards, anniversary gifts, customer appreciation, survey incentives, contests and anything they might have used a gift card for.

“Most importantly, the dollars stay local and benefit our businesses and our community,” added Ryan.

The new #ShopNavarreFirst E-Gift Card is very convenient for both participating merchants to process and for gift card holders to redeem. People can purchase the E-Cards online and email, text or print them for use in shops, restaurants and other local entertainment and services. To accept the Cards participating merchants just need to accept Mastercard and process it via a key-entry (like a phone order).  There will no longer be any need for a separate web terminal for processing, dual entries into the terminal and POS system, and any costly POS integration.

There is no additional cost for Chamber merchants to participate in the program. To opt-in, they simply run a 10- cent charge (or whatever is their minimum) on a prepaid Mastercard that Yiftee will send by email (the “Activation Card”). This serves as the authorization to participate and businesses agree to Yiftee’s Merchant Agreement.   Participating merchants will be paid through their credit card bank in their normal settlement, with their normal Mastercard CNP processing fee. The Cards only work at participating merchants who opt-in to the program.



Businesses interested in accepting these Cards should run your Activation Card as soon as possible. The Chamber is in the “soft launch” stage now, as we just released details to our members last week.  We plan a full launch of the new e-Gift Card to the public this Friday, December 1, 2023 with a marketing campaign with businesses who are signed up will be featured.

“We’re very excited about this new E-card and developing new business for our members.”
