# Gift Card Processing Workflow

## Gift Card Processing Workflow

When processing a transaction (sale or refund) using a gift card, the workflow a terminal operator will use depends on the Secure Payment module they are using.

If you are using Secure Payment's **Gateway** module, the gift card is recognized as soon as the operator swipes the card and the appropriate gift card application is launched (DataCandy or Freebees).

If you are using any other Secure Payment module (**App to App**, **SecurePay**, **SecureTable**, or **Standalone Payment**), the operator (or customer) must indicate that the card being used is a gift card by tapping the **Gift card** button.

If the terminal operator or customer do not tap the **Gift card** button before swiping the card, the terminal displays a screen asking if a gift card is being used.

When you tap the **Gift card** button or answer **Yes** to the gift card question, the Secure Payment application launches the appropriate gift card application (DataCandy or Freebees) to process the sale or refund. When the gift card transaction is complete, the terminal returns to the Secure Payment application.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/secure-payment/application-securetable-module/payment-process/gift-card-transactions/gift-card-processing-workflow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
