Issue a new gift card

Issue a new gift card or other stored-value card.

The /issue endpoint of our Stored Value API lets you issue a new virtual gift card or other stored-value card. The card is activated automatically, and some providers automatically preload the newly issued card with a certain amount.

Issuing SVS gift cards
If you are building a new Stored Value API integration, issuing SVS gift cards is not supported.

If you have an existing Stored Value API integration and have issued SVS gift cards, you can continue doing so.

You can't issue plastic gift cards with the Stored Value API.
