E-Gift cards and POS

Is it possible to sell Square e-gift cards through the Point of Sale app on the iPad?

No only Physical Gift Cards.

Sigh. Yet another example of why Square is too bolted down and closed tight to be useful for much of anything. So infuriating.

Well, if you really want to sell e-gift cards, just open up the e-gift card link from your website or bookmark in the browser and sell it. It is just not available through the POS.

Yes, I've done that but I would have to key in the credit card information instead of swiping the card, correct?

Yes that is correct and because it is a web based transaction you are paying the ecommerce rate. Ultimately the physical give cards are cheaper. You can also recharge and reuse them.
