API Documentation | KTN Gift Card

Introduction

The KTN Gift Card Merchant API is a RESTful service that lets you programmatically list available gift cards, purchase them, manage orders, retrieve gift card credentials, and handle refunds. All communication happens over HTTPS with JSON request and response bodies.

Base URL

All API requests should be made to the following base URL. All communication is over HTTPS.

text

https://api.ktngiftcard.katronai.com/katron-gift-card

All endpoints in this documentation are relative to the base URL above. For example,/api/merchant/getAccountDetails resolves to https://api.ktngiftcard.katronai.com/katron-gift-card/api/merchant/getAccountDetails.

Authentication

The API uses Bearer Token authentication. When you create a Merchant API profile, an API key (JWT token) is sent to your registered email address. Include this token in theAuthorization header of every request.

http

GET /api/merchant/getAccountDetails HTTP/1.1
Host: api.ktngiftcard.katronai.com
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Keep your API key secret. Do not share it in public repositories, client-side code, or any insecure location. If your key is compromised, regenerate it immediately from your API Profile page or by calling the reissue token endpoint.

Quick Start Guide

Get up and running in two simple steps. Create your merchant API profile from the API Profile page, then start making requests.

Retrieve Your API Key

After creating your profile from the API Profile page, your API key (Bearer token) is sent to your registered email address. This token is used for all subsequent calls to /api/merchant/* endpoints.

Tip: Check your spam/junk folder if you don't receive the email. You can regenerate your token at any time from the API Profile page.

Voiding a payment is different from a refund. A void cancels a pending transaction before it has fully settled, while a refund reverses a completed transaction. Use void for recent orders that haven't been processed yet.

Schemas

Response Object

All API endpoints return a standardized response envelope with the following structure:

json

{
  "status": 200,         // HTTP status code (integer)
  "message": "Success",  // Human-readable message (string)
  "data": { ... }        // Response payload (object, array, or null)
}

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`status`	integer (int32)	Required	HTTP status code mirrored in the response body.
`message`	string	Required	Human-readable status message.
`data`	object \| null	Required	The response payload. May be null on errors.

MerchantApiProfileGiftCardOrderRequest

The request body schema for purchasing a gift card through the merchant API.

typescript

interface MerchantApiProfileGiftCardOrderRequest {
  productId: number;   // int64 — Gift card product ID
  unitPrice: number;   // float — Denomination amount
  email?: string;      // Recipient email for delivery
  senderName: string;  // Required — Sender/purchaser name
}

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`productId`	integer (int64)	Required	The product ID from the list gift cards response.

`email`	string	Optional	Email address where the gift card credentials will be sent.
`senderName`	string	Required	The name displayed as the sender of the gift card.

ChargeType Enum

The charge type determines how gift card purchases are billed to your merchant account. Set during profile creation and updateable via the update charge type endpoint.

Value	Description
`CHARGE_CARD`	Purchases are charged directly to the credit/debit card on file. Ideal for pay-as-you-go usage patterns.
`CHARGE_ACCOUNT_BALANCE`	Purchases are deducted from the pre-loaded merchant account balance. Ideal for high-volume, prepaid usage.

Error Handling

Error Response Format

When an error occurs, the API returns a consistent error envelope. The HTTP status code is mirrored in the response body for convenience.

json

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Access Denied",
  "errors": ""
}

Common Error Codes

Status	Meaning	How to Fix
400	Bad Request — Invalid or missing parameters	Check the request format, required parameters, and enum values.
401	Unauthorized — Missing or invalid API key	Ensure the Authorization header contains a valid Bearer token.
403	Forbidden — Access denied for this resource	Ensure you're using the correct endpoint and your profile is active.
404	Not Found — Resource does not exist	Verify the order ID or product ID is correct.
500	Internal Server Error	Retry after a moment. If the issue persists, contact support.

Best practice: Always check the status field in the response body, not just the HTTP status code. Some successful operations may return additional context in themessage field.
