Easy integration with 3rd party or custom system

TheGiftCardCafe.com can post instant gift certificate order data to a specified URL once a successful transaction has been completed. This method allows you to feed instant gift certificate order data into your existing Point of Sale or back office system in real-time for easy management. Contact us if you need more information.


What you need to know about how we can post order date to a secure URL

We submit the order data to you via HTTP POST (typically used for receiving an HTML form submission) so you should be able to receive and save the order data however you wish. Obviously this will require development work on your end or by your point of sale system to ensure you can save this data into your system properly. Since order payment is processed on our system we do not post customer credit card data out to 3rd party systems but we still require a secure URL (https) in order to pass the other order data listed below.
