Average buyer order value up 15.4% year-over-year to $384 through March 22 as buyer spend per transaction reaches multi-year highs across the platform SCHAUMBURG, IL, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Giftify, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIFT) (the “Company”), the owner and operator of CardCash.com, Restaurant.com, and Takeout7.com, and a leader in the incentives and rewards industry, today announced preliminary buyer order value results for CardCash.com through the first eleven weeks of Q1 2026. Average buyer order value reached $384 through March 22, 2026, up 15.4% compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting a meaningful increase in buyer spend per transaction as platform demand strengthens entering Q2. The order value results build on the Company’s previously announced preliminary buy-side volume results for the same period, providing additional context to the transaction activity reported.

The buy-to-sell ratio for that week reached 2.07 to 1, reflecting strong underlying buyer demand relative to available inventory and a well-balanced marketplace as CardCash enters Q2. “The order value metrics through early Q1 tell an important part of the CardCash demand story,” said Ketan Thakker, Chief Executive Officer of Giftify, Inc. “A $429 average transaction in a single week is the highest we have seen since 2020 and reflects buyers engaging with the platform at a higher level of intent and spending more per visit. When you pair that with the buy-side volume growth we reported previously, it reflects a platform where both the breadth and the quality of buyer demand are strengthening simultaneously. That is the combination that matters for the long-term trajectory of the business.” The buyer order value growth has been supported by efficient performance across paid marketing channels, with return on ad spend holding in the 2.75 to 3.14x range through Q1 2026.
