The /load endpoint of our Stored Value API lets you add funds to a gift card or other type of stored-value card. These funds are available to the shopper if the card has been activated. Virtual cards are activated automatically when you issue them. But for physical cards, it is necessary that you also activate them.
Not for refunds
Because the /load transaction is not related to a payment, you cannot use it to make a refund. Refer to:

When you add funds to a gift card or other stored-value card, the way to specify the card details depends on whether you tokenized a payment that the shopper made with this card.
