Gift Card Payments

Merchant gift card programs lead customers to spend—on average—60 percent more than the value of their gift cards. In addition, 72 percent of shoppers also shop for themselves when they go online or in-store to purchase a gift card.

Heartland helps you acquire more loyal customers with our innovative gift card program. You can personalize your own gift cards, offer reloading capabilities and use a card-not-present program that allows your customers to use their phone number as their identifier.

Create a Gift Card Object

When consuming gift cards, you will need to first create a GiftCardData object to pass to the subsequent methods.

Creating a Gift Card

<?php
use GlobalPayments\Api\PaymentMethods\GiftCardData;

$card = new GiftCardData();
$card->number = "5022440000000000098";

using GlobalPayments.Api.PaymentMethods;

var card = new GiftCardData {
    Number = "5022440000000000098";
};

import com.global.api.paymentMethods.GiftCardData;

GiftCardData card = new GiftCardData();
card.setNumber("5022440000000000098");

from globalpayments.api.payment_methods import GiftCardData

card = GiftCardData()
card.number = '5022440000000000098'
