showroomprivé.com France gift cards

showroomprivé.com is a French online private sales site known for heavily discounted brand-name fashion, accessories, home goods and beauty products. For a business paying or rewarding people in France, the card gives recipients access to private sales that stretch the value of a reward further than a card for a full-price retailer.

Cards are issued in euros with fixed face values of 10, 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 €. They are valid for one year from the date of purchase. There is no physical card to keep track of; the recipient receives a card number and PIN.

To use the card, the recipient goes to showroomprive.com or the mobile app, shops the sales, and selects “Carte cadeau” at the payment page. The card can be combined with a credit card to cover any amount above the card balance, and it can be used across several orders until the balance is used up. The card cannot be used for travel and leisure categories, partner marketplace sellers, ticketing, the Infinity programme, or to buy further gift cards or coupons.

This is not a card for someone who primarily shops in physical stores or wants travel or experiences. It suits people who are comfortable buying fashion, home and beauty products online and who appreciate a bargain. It is a good fit for rewarding a French team, thanking a customer, or paying out affiliates and research participants who can then choose from a wide range of products at discount prices.

Through GIFQ, a business can order these cards in bulk from the dashboard or send them one at a time via the API. Common uses include paying out earnings to creators or affiliates in France, rewarding employees with a bonus they can spend on themselves, or compensating research participants without handling bank details.
