Foxy vs Gifted
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Foxy and Gifted — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Foxy vs Gifted: at a glance
What is Foxy?
Foxy follows its legacy API lockdown with a FedEx rate-type option.
Foxy's changelog is a steady run of small fixes across payments, shipping carriers and store settings. The past month centered on secrets handling: committed AWS credentials removed, encryption keys moved to a key provider, and restricted legacy API access for stores still on old FoxyShop store secrets. The October 14 release returns to carriers, letting FedEx return either account or list rates.
What is Gifted?
Gifted lets hotels sell in-room extras through the same checkout as vouchers.
Gifted runs gift voucher and event ticket sales for hospitality venues. Its latest release, In Room Delivery, lets hotels sell items like champagne or flowers for placement in a guest's room, shareable via a hidden link. That follows mandatory multi-factor authentication and individual logins, a Growth Score, reconciliation reports and bulk ticket redemption.
Foxy vs Gifted: editorial side-by-side
Foxy
5.0E-COMM
Foxy follows its legacy API lockdown with a FedEx rate-type option.
◆ Current state
Foxy's changelog is a steady run of small fixes across payments, shipping carriers and store settings. The past month centered on secrets handling: committed AWS credentials removed, encryption keys moved to a key provider, and restricted legacy API access for stores still on old FoxyShop store secrets. The October 14 release returns to carriers, letting FedEx return either account or list rates.
◆ Where it's heading
The security pass moved from internal hygiene to changes customers notice, peaking with the legacy API restriction. With that done, work is drifting back to carrier and API options, with no new product surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect more carrier and payment connector options interleaved with legacy-credential cleanup. The entries show no sign of a larger feature release.
Gifted
5.0E-COMM
Gifted lets hotels sell in-room extras through the same checkout as vouchers.
◆ Current state
Gifted runs gift voucher and event ticket sales for hospitality venues. Its latest release, In Room Delivery, lets hotels sell items like champagne or flowers for placement in a guest's room, shareable via a hidden link. That follows mandatory multi-factor authentication and individual logins, a Growth Score, reconciliation reports and bulk ticket redemption.
◆ Where it's heading
Gifted is extending from vouchers into a broader ancillary-revenue checkout: Products earlier, Events, and now pre-arrival extras. Alongside, back-office and security work prepares operators for peak trading. The Growth Score nudges venues toward using these newer revenue lines.
◆ Prediction
Expect further Events improvements, which Gifted has said are coming, and more ways to attach Products to stays or bookings.
