Implementing Gift Card Support

[ramesh]

Hi,
we need to support gift cards in a konakart shop. We need support for 2 operations:

1) buy gift cards online using credit card
2) paying for a product using a gift card i.e redeem amount available in Gift Card

Are there any classes already available in Konakart which does this functionality, or should we write our own custom classes to achieve this?

How to differentiate between a normal product and Gift Card?

Kindly throw some light on this topic

Any help / suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
