Toast API Developer's Guide

The Toast gift card API specification includes a single endpoint. The Toast platform sends information about all gift card transaction types to that endpoint. The information in the HTTP request indicates the type of transaction and provides details about it.

You can name the single endpoint of your gift card integration API anything that you want. For example, the REST path in the URL for your API might be https://my-host-name/v1/myTransactions. You define every part of that URL. During the integration process, the Toast technical partnership team will configure the REST path to your endpoint in the Toast platform.

The Toast platform indicates the type of each transaction request by including a transaction type identifier in the Toast-Transaction-Type HTTP header parameter. For information about gift card transaction type identifiers see Gift card transaction types.

The Toast platform includes a set of values that provide information about the gift card transaction in the JSON GiftCardTransaction object in the message body parameter for each request.

Your single endpoint must return a JSON GiftCardTransactionResponse object in the message body of the HTTP response to each request. The GiftCardTransactionResponse object indicates the success or failure of transaction processing and provides information about the state of the gift card after the transaction is processed. The transactionStatus value of the GiftCardTransactionResponse object includes a status identifier. For information about transactionStatus values, see Response status types.
