What you build

An outside app reads booked sales from the feed and issues the shop's own gift card, released after the hold.

The card is made after the sale, not on its receipt.
A return without the receipt names no sale, so it voids nothing.
The hold runs from the card's issue.
The kit's samples read the shared feed, whose key is not limited to one app (a feed scoped to your app is an extension point, chapter 9).
Offline, gift cards wait for a connection: the card cannot be spent on an offline till.

A qualifying sale earns a gift card shortly after it is booked; it can be spent once the hold is over.

Tell the customer the 5 limits above, and write them into the proposal.
Follow the recipe: A gift card for a big spend, spendable after a hold.
Copy the sample: S25 — Gift card on spend (a big sale earns the shop's own gift card, spendable after a hold), and change it.
Build and test it on your sandbox (request one if you have none; what is on it).
Run the checks: your own tests, the kit's checks and the money kit's release gate (testing and release).
Release through the customer's own release gate (14. Testing and release); an app other shops install goes through the App library.

Stop your service for a while and start it again: it must catch up from the event feed, missing nothing.
