# Tokenization for Gift Cards and PLCC

Verifone also offers the possibility of tokenizing gift cards and Private Label Credit Cards (PLCC). The process is similar to tokenizing a regular card.

This functionality helps the customer perform cross-channel transactions which include the use of gift cards/ private label credit cards.

**Additional notes:**

* Expiration date of the gift card / PLCC is optional for the tokenization
* The gift card / PLCC PAN can have a length of minimum 4 digits
* The client needs to indicate in the payment request the card brand GIFT\_CARD / PLCC and / or the account type STORED\_VALUE / PRIVATE\_LABEL along with the token
* Sale, Pre-auth, Void and Refund would be the supported request types using the re-use token generated for the gift cards / PLCCs
* At the moment the tokenization can be performed only via the PUT and PATCH /v2/card endpoints and not via the endpoints used for initiating a payment (e.g.: POST /v2/transactions/card endpoint). Check the [eComm](/api-reference/open-api-references/ecommerce.md) API public documentation.
