GiftCard.reverse
The reverse method reverses a previous operation on a GiftCard (if the gift card processor allows it). Use reverse to reset the status of a gift card back to Active if a technical glitch occurred when you tried to redeem a gift card. reverse lets you retry the redemption. Do not use this method to undo the successful redemption of a gift card. This method does not automatically revoke credit from an AutoBill or Account, granted when the gift card was successfully redeemed.
Input
srd: sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a method call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call.
Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the srd. A null srd returns the complete response.
giftCard: the GiftCard object whose status you wish to reverse. Use the VID attribute to specify the GiftCard object.
Output
return: an object of type Return that indicates the success or failure of the call.
giftcard: the reversed GiftCard object, with updated status.
Returns
In addition to those listed in Standard Return Codes, this call returns:
Return Code |
Return String |
400 |
One of the following:

Example
$gc = new GiftCard();
// set the gift card VID. obtained when checking the gift card status
$gc->setVID($gcVID);
// Now make the SOAP API call to reverse the redemption
$response = $gc->reverse();
if ($response->['returnCode'] == 200) {
// Also make sure the status of the gift card is 'Active'
$updatedGc = $response['data']->giftcard;
if ($updatedGc->getStatus()->getStatus() == 'Active') {
print “Gift card is now redeemable \n”;
}
}
else {
// Error while reversing the card
print "Return code: " . $response['returnCode'];
print " Return string: ";
print $response['returnString'] . "\n";
}
