Hi
For sales via our website, we are not using the square app but square as one payment option. I am wondering if e-gift vouchers can still be used in this case? There is usually just a 'pay by card' button that goes through to square, and a gift voucher option is not shown despite me setting it up. It does work via the physical square terminal...
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Yup, I totally misunderstood and reading again have got the idea.
Gift cards are only designed to work face-2-face and on the Square platform.
Something you could test is putting the gift card number in the CC field and then any expiration date and CCV. This works on the Square based sites if a customer wants to use more than one gift card - but I've no idea if it would on the gateway.
Hey @akshayapradipa - I'm a bit confused by your question so want to check I'm understanding this right.... Is your question "Can someone use use an e-gift card during a face-to-face transaction?"If so, then yup it's easy peasy!
Within the app go to the settings and you'll see the checkout option. Here there are the payment types you accept, so just double check you've got Gift Card enabled. It will then show as an option when you're completing a sale - you just enter the customers e-gift card number they received by email. Job done! (If I've misunderstood the question then '@' me and I'll try and actually be helpful 🤣)
Hey @akshayapradipa, thanks for your post! And thank you for your help here @Sam_400º.
So I've just had a look through our Gift Card FAQ, and it seems like you should be able to use Gift Cards for Online transactions. Would it be possible for you to share your website with me, @akshayapradipa? This will allow me to take a further look into why a Gift Card option is not appearing on your website's checkout.
Thanks!
Thank you Skyler for looking into this, here is our website: https://www.northlondonbuddhistcentre.com/ and here the yellow button is an example payment link: https://www.northlondonbuddhistcentre.com/mindfulness-courses/mindfulness-compassionate-mind-behavio...
Hi @akshayapradipa , thanks for your patience.
Just stepping in for @Skyler here.
Your eGift Cards cannot be redeemed on any online store platforms outside of your Square Online Store powered by Weebly.
You can embed your egift cards onto your external site and sell them, but your customers won't be able to redeem transactions with them.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for your replies!
