whitetail

gift cards your customers buy and gift. you get paid today via stripe; the recipient redeems later against any pawpaw invoice or in-person purchase.

charge the buyer through stripe and mint a unique card code in the same step. cash flow up front, customer in the door later.

when a recipient comes in to use their card, the code applies as a discount against any pawpaw invoice. partial redemption is tracked.

for in-person purchases that don't ride a pawpaw invoice — point-of-sale-style cash redemption.

outstanding balances are real money you owe. whitetail's dashboard shows the running total so you always know your exposure.

buyers and recipients can see their card balance in the yaupon customer portal — they don't have to call to ask what's left.

the message field on a card lets the buyer write a note that shows on the recipient's email and in their yaupon portal. small touch that lifts the whole gift.

the status filter at the top of the toolbar narrows the list to active, redeemed, void, or expired cards. useful for outstanding-balance pulls and clean-ups.

a void zeroes the balance and marks the card cancelled. used for the issue-by-mistake or the buyer-cancelled-and-you-refunded case.

the search box matches code, buyer name, buyer email, recipient name, and recipient email all at once.

when a buyer pays for a card through whitetail's stripe flow, the money hits your stripe balance the same as any pawpaw invoice. there's no escrow.

the dashboard shows three stats. they each answer a different question — what got bought, what's still owed, how many cards exist.

the delivery method controls how the recipient gets the card. three options, three different use cases.

you can set a card to expire after a window (90 / 180 / 365 days). some states ban gift-card expiry entirely. check before you set one.
