Cards2Cash
Platform Completion & Launch Partner
Cards2Cash needed a developer who could step into an existing marketplace build, assess what was left, finish the platform and get it live. We took the project from handover through feature completion, admin rebuild and successful launch — and continue supporting the business as listings and transaction volume grow.

Gift Card Marketplace
About Cards2Cash
Cards2Cash (cards2cash.co.uk) is a UK-based online marketplace in the gift card exchange space. Sellers list unwanted vouchers from retailers such as Amazon, Currys, John Lewis and Tesco — upload proof of the card, and receive a cash payout once verified and purchased. Buyers browse discounted gift cards to save on everyday retail spending.
Slade Tech was brought in when the platform was around 80% complete, to assess the existing build, finish remaining seller and buyer flows, improve operational tooling for verification and payouts, and prepare Cards2Cash Limited for launch.

Featured Project
Admin System Rebuild & Operational Improvement
The Challenge
The existing admin system was inefficient and fragmented. Staff were required to navigate multiple pages to access customer details, listing status and verification information — slowing down operations during the critical verify-and-payout workflow.
Our Solution
We rebuilt the admin system from the ground up, redesigning workflows around how the Cards2Cash team actually processes listings. The new system provides a unified view of customer and card information, enabling verification, buyer matching and payout actions from a single interface.
The Outcome
- Faster Task Completion — Across the operations team
- Centralised Customer Data — All relevant information in one view
- Less Page Navigation — Key actions from a single interface
- Streamlined Workflows — Improved usability for daily operations
- Scalable Foundation — Built to support future growth
