How It Works - Gift & Prepaid Certificates
This diagram illustrates how gift certificate service works:
- Purchaser initiates transaction to purchase gift certificate.
- Merchant passes payment information and gift certificate request to CyberSource. CyberSource provides payment services and creates the certificate account.
- CyberSource returns payment authorization to merchant.
- CyberSource issues certificate to recipient on behalf of the merchant, as well as sending confirmation to the purchaser.
- Recipient visits site, selects items, and enters certificate number. Merchant sends request to CyberSource for certificate validation and completes the transaction number.
Certificates can be 're-loaded' to renew or increase value at any time.
Technical Integration
Merchants install a small piece of software code on their server that provides secure messaging capability over the Internet between the merchant storefront and CyberSource systems. The software (API) comes as a pre-configured plug in for many popular commerce server platforms, or is available as a developer kit.Technical integration can generally be completed in about 30 days, depending on merchant development resources and project scope.
