How Does eGifting Work?

Can I send a viigii without buying a physical gift?

The viigii experience is designed to accompany the purchase of a physical gift through an online retailer. With viigii, you can offer an easy and memorable gift-giving experience to your customers, eliminating any worries of a gift not arriving on time.

Does viigii work on all platforms and devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone)?

The viigii software works with both Windows and Mac computers, and is optimized for Apple and Android devices.

What if I don’t want to send my viigii notification right away? Can I choose a future date?

Yes! You can choose the exact date you’d like the viigii to be sent. For example, if you’re ordering a viigii for your friend on January 5, but her birthday isn’t until January 15, you can set the viigii delivery date to January 15 so that the viigii will arrive on her special day.

Can I choose what my animated gift looks like?

Yes! With viigii’s Premium Plan you may select from fourteen animated gift color options. Premium Plan subscribers may also customize the colors of viigii’s interface and background, or even allow their customers to select from various themes for holidays and other gift-giving occasions.

Will I be notified when my viigii is sent?

Yes! After you send your viigii, you’ll receive an email confirming the details of your viigii (including the recipient’s contact details and the date of delivery).

What if I don’t want the recipient to see what I’ve sent them?

The viigii gifting service is intended to be a sneak peek of the gift still to come. The experience is designed to emulate the real-life excitement of unwrapping and revealing the gift with the added benefit of being able to respond immediately to the gift-giver. Through social media integration, viigii gives the opportunity for more personal communication between the giver and recipient, with the ability to exchange messages and media.
