Ordering Digital Gift Cards (eGifts)
Introduction
Blackhawk Network's broad selection of digital gift card content can be ordered through the eGift API calls available as part of the Rewards Order Processing API set.
Interacting with the Product Catalog
Blackhawk Network recommends interacting with the product catalog separately from the process of placing an order. Ideally you will want to synchronize and cache the catalog of products available to you every day.
Read more about how to interact with the product catalog.
Individual Orders
Individual ordering allows you to order one or many eGifts for Blackhawk Network to deliver directly to the individual recipient via email.

Ordering in Bulk
Bulk ordering allows you to acquire multiple eGifts to distribute directly. When placing a bulk order Blackhawk Network will not send the eGifts to the recipients on your behalf. You will need to distribute the eGifts to the recipients (although we recommend still using the Blackhawk Network eGift URL).

Real-time Ordering
Real-time ordering allows you to place single orders for eGifts quickly. You are limited to placing a single order at a time but the eGift is delivered more quickly and skips our internal order batching process.
