Gift Cards

ALEFBA supports digital gift-card experiences within its marketplace. This page explains the product concept and integration boundaries.

Documentation

Marketplace flow

1. A gift card is created or purchased through an authorized ALEFBA flow.
2. A unique code represents redeemable value.
3. The code is validated before any balance is applied.
4. Redemption and balance changes are recorded for auditability.
5. Checkout applies eligible gift-card value according to marketplace rules.

Security expectations

• Treat gift-card codes as secrets.
• Do not expose codes in analytics, logs or URLs.
• Prevent duplicate redemption and concurrent balance overspending.
• Record balance adjustments and administrative actions.
• Apply expiration, cancellation and refund rules consistently.

Public API availability

No separate public Gift Cards API endpoint is declared by this documentation package. Integrators should not construct or assume gift-card endpoints that have not been published in OpenAPI.
