How to level up my companion?

Hi! 
I’m wondering about how to level up my companion in the best way. Is it to buy gifts to them? And where do I best buy gifts in that case?

    Yes, buying gifts with credits. They also get influence from sending them on crew skill missions, dialog choices or from a special cartel market item (instant level 50). You can buy the gifts on the Fleet, Galactic Trade Network section.

    different companions prefer different gifts , see https://swtorista.com/gifts/


    Hi, and thanks for the answer! But I’ve already been to that site, and I find it a little bit confusing… Let’s say that I wanna level up my companion T7-01. Where should I go to find the best vendor to do so? And what should I buy? I haven’t got so much credits yet, only about 350 000. Any help on this is greatly appriciated!

    T7 likes technology gifts the most (= gets the most influence). On the Fleet, GTN Section (north-east), NPC is called Teintonja, she's in a cage-like area/cube, outer ring. This NPC sells rank 1 and rank 2 companion gifts. These are the cheapest. If your T7 is below lets say level 15, buy 200 "Holoviewer" (= rank 1 technology gift) and click them 200 times (yes, it takes time, put the gift on an action bar button, spam key). Cost = 4000 credits. Do this until ~level 15. After that rank 2 ("Hutt Data Library") until level 20. If you want to do it faster, use the NPC Luna. She sells rank 5 gifts (Technology = "Aratech reconstr. Toolkit"). They are far more expensive.
