The submitted amount is capped by the following rules (in order): 1. Cannot exceed the card's available balance 2. Cannot exceed the remaining unpaid order total 3. Cannot exceed the remaining headroom under `GIFT_CARD_CONFIG.max_amount_per_order` after subtracting already-applied card amounts After the reservation is created, the previously selected payment method is reset so the payment step is re-evaluated with the updated totals. **Required Fields**: * `amount`: Decimal amount to apply (must be greater than zero) **Validation**: * `amount` must be greater than zero * If the final capped amount resolves to zero, a validation error is returned **Backward Navigation**: * Navigating backward clears the pending card from the session **Next Pages**: * `EmptyPage` — the gift card sub-flow is complete ```json {"openapi":"3.1.0","info":{"title":"Overview","version":"1.0.0"},"tags":[{"name":"Gift Cards, Gift Boxes & Loyalty","description":"# Checkout Gift Cards, Gift Boxes & Loyalty\n\nApply supplementary payment methods and gifting options that adjust the order total or add items to the order.\n\n**Gift Cards** let customers apply a pre-loaded card balance to their order.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://apidocs.akinon.com/commerce-openapis/checkout/gift-cards-gift-boxes-and-loyalty/apply-the-verified-gift-card-as-a-reservation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
