Steps
Authenticate with a Bearer JWT and X-LocationId header as required by the Pay Service API
Call POST giftcard/v1/balanceInquiry to check a card's balance before redemption
Call POST giftcard/v1/redeem to apply a gift card payment, and POST giftcard/v1/refund to reverse one
Call POST giftcard/v1/reload or giftcard/v1/balanceTransfer to add funds or move balance between cards
Use POST giftcard/v1/virtual/issue to create a new virtual gift card, and GET/PATCH giftcard/v1/giftcards to look up or update card records
Known gotchas
There is no explicit 'activation' endpoint beyond virtual/issue for virtual cards — confirm physical card activation flow with PAR before assuming parity
All these operations require prior brand onboarding through PAR/Punchh; none are available on a bare developer signup
