code to embed square gift cards into wordpress

[GaiaWaxing]

Square online has the ability to embed various things from third parties. Can I do this same thing to embed my square gift card site into my wordpress site?

I'm afraid not. Square Gift cards aren't redeemable on third party sites. @GaiaWaxing

I don’t want to redeem them on 3rd party sites. I only want the square gift card site embedded into my Studio’s site.

Ah, you can post the link on your site. As far as embedding the link into a button of some sort, you'll need to talk with a developer to see if it's possible. Square doesn't offer an embedded code for that.

We had to do a bit of a workaround for this on our Wordpress.  We created a Woocommerce item called "Wallet Gift Card".  Our Woocommerce uses the Square API for payment processing, and this sale shows up in our transactions on Square.  We then refund the sale to a gift card on our Square POS and mail the gift card to the customer.    By refunding to the gift card, it fills the gift card with the amount that the customer chose and also allows the amount to not show as revenue in our sales reports since gift cards are not revenue until they are redeemed.

For e-gift cards, we are able to link to the e-gift card page directly.  

You can see this in action here.

Hope that helps.
