Gift Cards with Laravel and Stripe
Hello,
Does anyone have any experience implementing gift cards with Stripe? I see that they partner with a company called Gift Up but that doesn't look like it will help me. I'm looking for cards that can be loaded with a specific dollar amount and then only redeemed at specific Stripe terminals (i.e.: swiped or scanned by a card reader).
Or, does anyone know of a custom card printer that can print cards with unique barcodes? Then I could patch something together where the cashier scans the gift card barcode and then I use that to account for payment. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!

@martinbean Thank you. I know they issue cards but those can be used anywhere. Square has the option to distribute gift cards that can be scanned like a normal credit card and can only be used at a specific location. I am looking for something similar with Stripe.

@bobwurtz Stripe sends you a webhook for authorisation: https://stripe.com/docs/issuing/controls/real-time-authorizations
So you can have a webhook endpoint that approves the authorisation if it’s coming from a pre-approved merchant where you want the card to be used.

@martinbean Did not realize they offered that. I should've read the docs more carefully. Thank you!
