Gift card processing involves issuing, selling, redeeming, and tracking gift card transactions. Technologies: payment gateways (Stripe, Square), gift card platforms (Blackhawk, Quotient), databases (fraud tracking), and PCI compliance. Mid-career salary: $95-145k because the skill touches payments (high stakes), fraud (high cost), and customer retention (revenue critical). Mastery: 5-7 weeks.

Menene Gift Card Processing

Gift card processing is the infrastructure for issuing, activating, selling, and redeeming gift cards. Components: (1) issuance (creating card numbers, storing balances), (2) POS integration (checking balance, accepting payment at checkout), (3) fraud detection (preventing abuse), (4) reconciliation (balancing sales and redemptions). Gift cards can be digital (email-delivered code) or physical (printed card, magnetic stripe or QR code). Processing can be in-house (homegrown database) or outsourced (third-party platforms like Blackhawk, Quotient). Payment processing (Stripe, Square, PayPal) handles purchase transactions.

❓ Tambayoyi

What's the difference between closed-loop and open-loop gift cards?
Closed-loop: only redeemable at issuing merchant (Starbucks card at Starbucks). Open-loop: redeemable anywhere (Visa gift card). Closed-loop has lower fraud risk and better customer data. Open-loop requires third-party processor.
How do I prevent gift card fraud?
Fraud detection: unusual patterns (velocity checks, impossible locations), blacklist compromised cards. Rate limiting on redemption attempts. 3D Secure for purchases. Monitor for duplicate transactions. Keep audit trail.
What's the PCI compliance requirement for gift cards?
Must comply with PCI DSS Level 1-3 depending on transaction volume. Tokenize sensitive data; never store full card numbers in plain text. Use certified payment processors to minimize compliance burden.
How do I reconcile sales and redemptions?
Daily reconciliation: sum gift card sales, subtract redemptions, verify balance matches. Use ledger system (double-entry accounting) for accuracy. Flag discrepancies immediately.
Can I resell gift cards from third parties?
Yes, many platforms (Raise, CardCash) enable gift card resale. Requires processor that handles third-party inventory. More complex reconciliation and compliance.
