Real-time transactions
When using our API to activate, top-up or cancel gift cards your customers benefitting from a real-time process. There are no overnight batch-processes here, no handling exception cases if the top-up fails and you don't find out until the next day.
Fulfilment/Delivery
We provide an API call to order individual physical cards to be shipped to the end recipient. This is handled using the "Order card" API call and you will need to provide the full name and address where the card should be shipped.
There is an additional per-order shipping cost to cover the fulfilment charges.
Once you have submitted the order you can query the status of the order via a second API call to determine if it has been processed or shipped.
