Customizing Your Digital Greeting Cards
The digital greeting cards that accompany every gift delivered via text, email, or link are thoughtful touchpoints that make the gifting moment even more memorable.
While gifters have the freedom and flexibility to upload their own images or designs for these cards as part of their gifting experience, we also recommend providing a library of your own designs for people to choose from.
These cards can display your products, echo your brand, get sassy or serious—remember that they’re an extension of your entire customer experience, and these cards should feel like they’re a seamless part of the story. If you want to create your own library of digital greeting cards, here’s how to do it in your Zest portal.
Uploading Card Designs
Your storefronts come outfitted with six default card designs with different sentiments, like gratitude and sympathy. It’s a good idea to create a variety of designs that speak to the different reasons your shoppers might gift. It’s also a good idea to have some designs ready before major holidays, like Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
For many holidays, people start shopping for gifts 2 weeks beforehand. We recommend getting seasonal, holiday, or event-focused designs uploaded to your card library by that time so they can accompany any gifts that are scheduled for later.

To upload your card designs:
Go to your Zest Partners portal and click Settings.
Click Branding, then locate the section labeled Digital gift cards.
Click Add near the bottom left-hand corner of this section and choose a saved card design from your files. Note: Cards must be 960x960 px .jpg or .png files.
Add a card description, such as “Valentine’s Day 2026,” and click Save.
The “Add” button for uploading digital card designs.

Adding a Saved Design to a Storefront
Even though your card design is now a part of your Zest portal, it won’t automatically appear in all of your storefronts. You still need to add your design to the storefronts in which you want it to appear.
If you want to go above and beyond for a corporate client, design a few designs just for them and their goals, then upload those design to their Custom Storefront.
To add a card design to a specific storefront:
For a design to appear in your Main Storefront, click Main storefront at the top of the page.
Click Branding, then scroll down to the Digital Cards section.
From here you can remove and add card designs for this specific storefront. To add a design from your Zest settings, click Select digital cards.
Select which card designs you’d like to add to the storefront, and click Select.
Click “Select digital cards” to add a design to your storefront library.
Your new design/s will appear at the end of your existing designs. To rearrange the order in which your designs appear to customers, click and hold a card design to drag it where you’d like.
Tip: Bring seasonal or limited-time designs to the front of your card designs so it’s the first thing your gifters see when they start personalizing their digital message.
