What Tango is
Tango provides tools for businesses to send and manage rewards, incentives, gift cards, prepaid cards, payouts and charitable donations. Its free self-serve portal supports individual and bulk orders, delivery by email or SMS, and tracking of delivery and funding history. Tango says its catalog includes more than 3,100 options and covers more than 225 countries in over 60 currencies. Recipients using Reward Link can choose from more than 100 gift cards, delivered digitally or in print. The RESTful JSON API automates reward delivery and manages customers, accounts, orders and funding; its guide recommends a rate of 1 TPS or less. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Qualtrics, Zapier and HubSpot, and Tango says it connects with 1,500+ apps in Workato’s directory. The free portal has no subscription fee or order minimum in most cases, but customers pay reward face value and applicable transaction fees; some products may also have fees. Promo Link costs $0.25, paid once, plus the reward face value. Tango was founded in 2009 and was acquired by Blackhawk Network in May 2024.
