Kodie: Automated Digital Gift Messaging for E-Commerce
Kodie lets online stores send automated, personalized text, photo, and video gift messages that arrive exactly when packages do.
Overview
Kodie transforms the ordinary gift-giving experience into something memorable by letting e-commerce businesses attach personalized text, photo, or video messages to online orders. Instead of printed notes that customers have to manage manually, Kodie automates the entire process—capturing the message at checkout and delivering it to the recipient precisely when their package arrives. This creates a delightful surprise moment that strengthens the emotional connection between brands and their customers.
Beyond the messaging itself, Kodie doubles as a re-engagement and analytics tool. Each message can redirect recipients to a fully customizable brand page showcasing product highlights, promotions, and calls to action, turning a simple gift notification into a new sales opportunity. With end-to-end encryption protecting every message and integrations spanning more than 950 shipping carriers, Kodie fits seamlessly into existing fulfillment workflows while giving marketers valuable insight into gifting behavior and campaign performance.
