I'm wondering if anyone has implemented this. My customer wants to add virtual gift cards to her website for a garden center. Paypal's setup is easy for me, the web developer. But she doesn't know how she'll add it to her POS. Currently, when they sell a gift card in the store, they write a unique number on the card and that number is recorded in the POS with the amount & date. The POS can then handle payments via cash or credit card with gift card or handle remaining balance, etc. It seems to me that they could use the transaction number from Paypal on the email or printed card & record it the same way when the customer comes in to redeem. But it seems kind of awkward because the POS person would have to have a copy of the most current Paypal system every day to verify the card. I know website--not POS. So I'm process-challenged on this. Maybe someone has already invented the wheel.
