Build with the platform behind appreciation
Thankscrate connects the systems where people data lives to the moments that matter, and delivers through a curated vendor network. If you have the data, the audience, or the products, there is a place for you in that ecosystem.

Partner types
Six ways to build with Thankscrate
Each partnership combines your product, data, brand, audience, or distribution with our automation, program administration, and fulfillment.
HRIS and payroll platforms
Extend your employee data into a visible, human outcome. A listing gives your customers an appreciation use case without building gifting, vendors, fulfillment, and program administration yourself.
Technology and integration
Systems that hold people or relationship data, or that want appreciation as an output. Connect the data, and Thankscrate handles the moments, budgets, and delivery.
Gift and brand partners
Distribution into recurring employee and customer appreciation programs, with company-driven occasions, automated ordering, and long-term relationships instead of one-time consumer purchases.
Fulfillment partners
Makers and fulfillment operations that ship curated Thankscrates with a printed card, routed automatically from the platform's orders.
Referral partners
Advisors, consultants, benefits brokers, and PEOs who bring appreciation programs to the companies they serve.
Strategic partners
Organizations that see appreciation infrastructure as a category worth building with us, through shared audiences, co-developed offerings, and distribution at scale.

The vendor network
Makers we are proud to put in a Thankscrate
We look for vendors that offer something special, the kind of thing a recipient would not find on their own. Local makers, small businesses, and nonprofits get access to recurring demand from company programs, and every send puts something made with care in someone's hands.
Unique, not everywhere
Products with a story: a roaster, a candle maker, a bakery, a small brand. The catalog is curated, so every product on the platform is one we would send ourselves.
Local vendors and their communities
We favor makers rooted in a place. A company program becomes steady demand for a small business, and the Thankscrate carries where it came from.
Nonprofits welcome
Organizations that make or sell to fund a mission fit the network well. Appreciation that also does some good is the kind we like best.
Connected through Shopify
Vendors fulfill from their own Shopify store. Products, variants, and inventory come across, and orders arrive with the recipient's confirmed address and the card message.
Gift cards through Tango
For teammates anywhere, and for recipients who would rather choose, digital gift cards from the brands people know.
A printed card, every time
The manager's note ships with the gift. Your product arrives with a reason attached.
Become a gift vendor
From Shopify store to appreciation program
Vendors fulfill through their own Shopify store. Thankscrate handles the rest. Here is how onboarding works today.
Step 1: Talk to us
Tell us what you make, where you ship, and at what price points. We curate the catalog. It is not self-serve, so every product on the platform is one we would send.
Step 2: Connect your store
Your Shopify store connects to Thankscrate. Your products, variants, and inventory come across. You keep fulfilling from the tools you already use.
Step 3: Get placed in tiers
Products are placed in curated gift tiers that companies choose per occasion and recipients choose from. Placement is how a product reaches recurring demand.
Step 4: Fulfill automatically
Orders arrive in your store with the recipient's confirmed address and the personal message for the card. Ship as you normally would. Status flows back to the platform.
Questions
Partner questions
What a partner asks first, answered plainly.
How does a partnership start?
With a conversation about fit: what you bring (data, an audience, products, distribution) and what your customers or buyers need from appreciation. Then scope, whether a listing, a vendor placement, a referral agreement, or something new; then a build with a named owner on each side; then a joint announcement once it is real. Write to us through the contact page.
Do vendors need to use Shopify?
Today, yes. Vendors fulfill through their own Shopify store, which connects to Thankscrate so products and inventory come across and orders arrive with the recipient's confirmed address and the card message. If you fulfill another way, tell us. The catalog is curated with each vendor directly.
What kind of vendor are you looking for?
Makers with something special: products a recipient would not find on their own, made with care, with a story worth putting on a card. We favor local vendors and small businesses, and nonprofits that make or sell to fund a mission are welcome. Every product on the platform is one we would send ourselves, so the catalog is curated with each vendor directly.
What arrives with an order?
The recipient's confirmed shipping address and the personal message to print on the card. Orders land in your Shopify store like any other order, you ship as you normally would, and the status flows back to the platform so the company can see it arrived.
How do products get in front of companies?
Products are placed in curated gift tiers, the budget ranges companies choose per occasion. A company turns on birthdays at the Standard tier, and every birthday that year draws from the products in that tier; recipients who are given a choice pick from the same set. Placement is how a product reaches recurring demand instead of one-off orders.
Where do you ship?
Physical Thankscrates ship within the U.S. to addresses verified against USPS data and confirmed by the recipient. Teammates and contacts outside the U.S. receive digital gift cards through Tango, so a vendor's reach is the U.S. and the program's reach is everywhere.
Is there an API or a developer program?
Not yet. Integration partnerships are built with our team today, and a public API will be announced in product updates when it exists rather than implied here.
We are an HRIS or payroll platform. What does a partnership add?
Thankscrate already connects to hundreds of systems read-only through Finch. A partnership adds a listing your customers can find, a joint story about what the data makes possible, and a program that runs without your team building gifting, vendors, or fulfillment. Nothing is written back to your system.
Do you work with advisors, brokers, and PEOs?
Yes. Referral partners bring appreciation programs to the companies they already serve, and we scope each agreement with the partner rather than posting a generic program. Tell us who you serve and how you work with them.
Will our name or logo appear on the site?
Only with written permission, and only once the partnership is real. We would rather scope a partnership properly than announce one early.
