eGift Cards

[SugarSounds]

I'm looking to offer eGift Cards that can be redeemed in store using my square pos as well as online. The snag is my online store is an external marketplace ( discogs.com a specialist marketplace for vinyl records cds etc)

Hey @SugarSounds,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Square's eGift card will only work in Square's POS unfortunately - it's not compatible with other platforms.

I took a look and it seems that at the moment the only form of payment Discogs allows is PayPal/credit cards, and don't have a gift card system of their own - I wish I had better new for you, but unfortunately there's no way of getting Square's giftcard system working for selling on Discogs!

Thanks Seamus yes looks like I'll need separate payment options for shop and online. That's ok. Thanks for getting in touch!

No worries @SugarSounds! Let me know if I can help with anything else 🙂

Can a customer pay for an eGift card with PayPal ?

I just enabled PayPal for my site but when paying for eGift Card only credit card option is displayed.

@GoulburnWestern not at the moment unfortunately - eGift cards are sold via the Square Website rather than than Square Online platform, and PayPal isn't an option here. It's credit or debit card only at the moment.
