Auto-Suspend Inactive Cards on Balance Check
Gift card programs can now be configured to automatically suspend a card if a balance check is performed on the Guest Website before the card has been activated. This adds a layer of fraud protection for merchants selling gift cards in bulk. If interested, please reach out to your Customer Success rep to enable the feature.
