Our Story

Built by Engineers
Who Felt the Pain

CardPing started when our founders spent 3 months integrating 14 different gift card networks for a client — and decided there had to be a better way.

Making Gift Card Data
Universally Accessible

Gift cards represent over $700 billion in global transactions annually, yet the infrastructure for checking and validating them remains fragmented. We're fixing that — one ping at a time.

Every business that handles gift cards deserves reliable, fast, and secure access to card data — regardless of engineering resources.
