The company has teamed up with Stored Value Solutions (SVS) for the new innovation.

Once uploaded to their Apple Wallet, there will be no risk of a gift card sitting at the bottom of a drawer, forgotten about and unused. 

And if customers receive several gift cards – physical and e-cards – the customer can put them together in the single mobile wallet, ready for use at any time in-store.

Scott Stone, head of Halfords for Business, said: “We are committed to investing in IT and the work we have done in recent years has already given us a strong platform for improving customer experience. From our in-store software and tablets, to our new car parts database and the provisioning of gift cards into a mobile wallets we are focused on moving forward and developing excellent in-store and online experiences for our customers.”
