Connect Shapes once, set who gets what and when, and Hoppier handles delivery, choice, tracking and returns. Every card can carry merchant restrictions, a spend window and a cap.

Want to build it yourself today? Use Zapier or the Hoppier API.

1
Create your free Hoppier account (or log in) and open Integrations in your dashboard.
2
Find Shapes in the Integrations directory and tell us you'd like it connected. Integrations are in beta, so the Hoppier team switches Shapes on for your account and lets you know when it's ready.
3
Choose which Shapes events should send a reward - like "Employee hired / onboarded" or "Work anniversary reached" - and set the program, amount and card message for each.
4
Rewards go out on their own. Each recipient gets one link and picks from 3,000+ gift cards or a prepaid Visa in their own currency.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hoppier integrate with Shapes?

Yes - the Shapes integration is in beta. Tell us you'd like it from the Integrations page in your Hoppier dashboard and our team switches it on for your account. You can also reward Shapes events today through Hoppier's Zapier app, the Hoppier API (beta), a CSV bulk send, or an AI assistant connected to the Hoppier MCP.

What can I automate between Shapes and Hoppier?

Shapes events like employee hired / onboarded, work anniversary reached, birthday reached and employee status change send rewards automatically, and Hoppier can update employee record or send notification in Shapes afterwards. A popular setup: a new hire's start date arrives in Shapes - send a $50 welcome card on their first morning.

What rewards can recipients choose?

Each recipient gets one link and picks from 3,000+ gift card brands or a prepaid Visa, redeemable in 60+ countries in their local currency.

What happens to cards nobody uses?

On Hoppier Plus plans, 100% of unspent value returns to your balance. Across 2,090 programs on our platform, 37% of gift value goes unspent on average - recovery is usually the deciding economics.

Can I start rewarding Shapes events before the integration is switched on?

Yes. Export a list from Shapes and upload it as a Hoppier bulk send, use Hoppier's Zapier app to add people to a program from any app Zapier connects to, call the Hoppier API (beta) from your own code, or connect an AI assistant to the Hoppier MCP and ask it to run the send.
