For local stores
Be the gift card a dad in your town actually wants.
OurFather is where Canadian families go to buy for Dad. We're building local gift guides city by city: the brewery, the butcher, the golf course, the barber, the tool shop. If you sell an e-gift card, you can be on it.

How it works
- 01
You sell an e-gift card
Shopify, Square, Clover, your own site. Anything a customer in another town can buy online and email to Dad.
- 02
We list you by city
A card in the local gift guide for your area, with your photo, your pitch, and a direct link to your gift-card page tagged so we can both see the traffic.
- 03
We take a referral cut
Typically 10% of gift-card sales that come through our link, settled monthly on the honour system, or a flat monthly listing fee if you'd rather. Your call.
- 04
You ship nothing
The card goes straight to the dad's inbox. No boxes, no returns, no stock.
Where we're starting
Southwestern Ontario first. Then wherever the stores are.
We're opening one city at a time so each local guide has enough real stores to be worth a family's visit. First up:
- Chatham-Kent
- Windsor
- London
- Sarnia
- Kitchener-Waterloo
- Hamilton
Not on the list? Apply anyway. Three stores in a town is enough to open a guide.
What gets a store listed
- An e-gift card a stranger can buy online in under two minutes and email to someone else.
- Something a dad would actually want: food, drink, gear, a service, an experience.
- Canadian-owned. Chains and franchises are welcome only when the location is locally owned.
- A photo of the storefront or the product we can use on your card.
Apply
Two minutes. We check your gift-card link works from another city, agree terms by email, and you're on the next update of your local guide. Questions first? Email admin@ourfather.ca.
