Managing corporate gift card spending across departments, locations, and teams can be complex—especially at scale. If your organization relies on eProcurement platforms like Coupa, SAP Ariba, Workday, or Jaggaer, you’re probably wondering:
“Can I streamline gift card purchasing with a PunchOut integration?”
The answer is yes—with Giftogram. In this guide, we’ll show you how to take control of gift card budgets, simplify distribution, and integrate gifting into your existing procurement workflows.
Why managing gift card spend is so challenging
Corporate gift cards are a great way to reward employees, boost engagement, and simplify recognition. But for growing organizations, manual gift card processes quickly become unmanageable.
You’re probably dealing with:
- Requests from multiple teams and locations
- Budget tracking across cost centers
- Manual approvals and payment issues
- Compliance headaches
Without the right tools, it’s easy to lose visibility—and control.

Giftogram solves these problems with a free, scalable platform that puts you in control of your gift card program from day one.
- Invite unlimited users and group them by department
- Allocate budgets or let teams self-fund
- Track every dollar spent with full visibility
- Send digital gift cards to employees in seconds
Two ways to structure gift card spending
Giftogram supports both top-down and bottom-up gift card spending structures to meet the needs of any organization:
- Top-Down: Centralized Budget Control
This approach gives administrators full control of the company gift card budget. Admins can allocate funds to specific users or teams, making it easy to manage budgets, approve spending, and ensure compliance—all while maintaining complete oversight. - Bottom-Up: Flexible, Decentralized Spending
Prefer a more flexible approach? With bottom-up spending, users can fund their own accounts or use approved payment methods to send gifts on demand. Admins still maintain visibility, but users enjoy more autonomy in how they purchase and distribute digital gift cards and rewards.
What is a PunchOut integration (and why you need one)
If your team uses an eProcurement system, you’re likely already familiar with PunchOut catalogs. A PunchOut lets your team “shop” a vendor’s offerings directly inside your procurement software—keeping everything within budget, approval flows, and audit trails.
Giftogram is one of the only gift card providers that supports PunchOut integration for digital gift cards.
How Giftogram PunchOut works with eProcurement systems
Giftogram’s PunchOut seamlessly connects with platforms like:
- Coupa
- SAP Ariba
- Workday
- Jaggaer
Once connected, your team can:
- Shop for gift cards right from your procurement system
