Gift Card Fund and Activate

Overview

The StoredValueFundAndActivate API is used to activate the gift card with the specified balance. The Order Management System fulfills the order by calling the Payment Service with StoredValueFundAndActivateRequest.

This API can be used with physical or virtual gift cards. Physical gift cards are provided with account number (PAN) and PIN. Virtual gift cards are generally provided with only promo code.

Like all other storedvalue APIs, the StoredValueFundAndActivateRequest is a synchronous API, where the client is waiting for the response. In case of timeout, the webstore or Order Management System retries the transaction at a later time.
