Gift Cards: How do I load a Gift Card?

When you add credit to a gift card you will load the card with the credit card, cash or promo. Credit cards will use the Virtual Terminal. Cash will be when a customer hands you cash over the counter. Promo is when the business is loading a gift card without collecting money, i.e. donation to a silent auction for charity.
