@(Info)()(Gift Cards are used to pay orders. If the Grand Total is higher than the Gift Card Amount then there is some left over. This is saved as a balance.)
Structure:
- Each Gift Card can be used for multiple Sales Orders. The applied amount is saved into spy_gift_card_balance_log per Sales Order. So to retrieve the used amount these rows need to be summed up. There is no way to refund a balance. In case of a refund, the system needs to create another Gift Card.
- When a Sales Order is saved then the table spy_sales_payment contains all used Payment Methods. As the Gift Card is a Payment Method, this needs to be saved here as well.
- There is an additional table spy_payment_gift_card which holds the used code.
