Gift Card Provider Webhooks (v0)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Allows integration of [gift card](gift card) providers with the NewStore platform.

Authenticating webhook requests

In order to authenticate the requests NewStore sends to the gift card provider it is possible to configure an api_key for the provider.

To achieve this add the api_key field to the provider in the gift_card configuration. See Update gift card configuration

Return balance

Returns the balance for the gift card.

This method is called by NewStore Associate App during the checkout process, when a gift card number is provided.

The returned balance can then be deducted from the total amount payable by the customer. If the balance can be adjusted against only part of the amount, the remainder can be deducted using other payment methods, including other gift cards, until the amount payable by the customer is zero.
