Tango
Seattle, Washington, United States
What it is
Tango provides business tools for rewards, incentives, gift cards, prepaid cards, payouts, and charitable donations. Its free self-serve portal supports individual or bulk orders, email or SMS delivery, and tracking for delivery and funding history. Tango says its catalog contains more than 3,100 reward options, reaches more than 225 countries, and supports more than 60 currencies. Reward Link lets recipients choose from more than 100 gift cards, delivered digitally or in print. A RESTful JSON API automates reward delivery and manages customers, accounts, orders, and funding; its guide recommends no more than 1 TPS. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Qualtrics, Zapier, and HubSpot, plus 1,500+ apps in Workato’s directory. The self-serve portal has no subscription fee or order minimum in most cases, but customers pay reward face value and applicable transaction fees. Promo Link costs $0.25 per issuance plus reward face value. Tango operates through web and API.
