Migrate your Square gift cards to Shopify
Move your Square gift cards to Shopify with their balances and codes intact. Square is the cleanest migration: 16-digit codes carry over unchanged, and balances import as the current remaining value.

Balances
Your Square balances import as each card's current remaining value. Square's export gives you a 'Current outstanding Amount' column, and that is what you import, not the original face value.
Codes
Square gift card codes are 16 numeric digits, so they carry over unchanged. Your customers keep using the same codes they already have.
Good to know
Square treats gift card migration as all-or-none: once you move to Shopify, Square cards can no longer be reloaded. Plan a single clean cutover, and deactivate cards in Square before you export.

- 2Open your Square Dashboard and go to Reports, then Gift Cards.
- 3Click Export in the upper right and choose the Detail CSV.
- 4Import the file into BatchCard, mapping the code column and the 'Current outstanding Amount' balance column.
- 5BatchCard captures every code and creates the cards in your Shopify store.
