Tango Card integration in Later Influence lets you send digital gift cards directly to creators — no spreadsheets or manual codes required.

You can reward creators quickly, track fulfillment automatically, and include gift card costs in your campaign reporting.

When to Use Gift Card Incentives

Gift card incentives are best for:

• Rewarding ambassadors, nano-, or micro-influencers
• Sending prepaid Visa®, Mastercard®, or digital retailer gift cards
• Managing rewards and ROI in one place — with no extra tools

Tango Card incentives can be fulfilled automatically through Later Influence or tracked manually if you send them outside the platform.

Integration Options

Later Influence offers two ways to use Tango Card:

Funding

• Later-owned account: Funded through Later’s internal payment process (IROF form)
• Brand-owned account: Requires you to share your Rewards Genius API credentials with your Later Customer Success Manager for secure integration.

Connecting Tango Card

Once your account is ready:

1. Later connects your Rewards Genius or Later-owned Tango account.
2. You’ll see Tango Card listed as an available delivery option when setting up gift card incentives.
3. Imported email templates from Rewards Genius will also appear in your dropdown options.

You’re now ready to create and send gift cards directly through Later.

Common Tango Gift Card Questions

How long does delivery take?

Creators usually receive their Tango Card email within minutes of fulfillment.

Can I use variable-value gift cards?

Yes — as long as you stay within the allowed range for that card type.

Can I use non-USD currencies?

Yes. Tango supports multiple currencies. Later converts values into USD at the time of fulfillment for reporting accuracy.

Why does the USD cost change after fulfillment?

Later finalizes the conversion rate at the time of fulfillment, ensuring cost accuracy in reports.

Can I change the value after saving?

Only before fulfillment. Once a card is fulfilled, it can’t be canceled or modified.

Who sends the gift card email?

Emails come from Rewards Genius (Tango Card). Later handles the transaction automatically.

Where can I verify a transaction?

Go to Incentives → Transactions, or open the creator’s Incentives tab → View Details to see timestamps and Tango reference IDs.
