Wholesale Gift Cards & Game Products: REST API and Webhooks for Resellers

FazerCards

Selling wholesale digital products through an API means your system talks to the supplier platform programmatically: fetch offers, create orders, receive codes or confirmations, and update your customers. This article explains the moving parts in plain language — useful whether you integrate FazerCards or compare vendors.

REST API: what you actually do

A typical flow looks like this:

  1. Authenticate — API key in a header (never in the browser or in a Telegram client).
  1. Browse catalog — List categories, products, and prices your account can buy at wholesale.
  1. Create order — Send product ID, quantity, and required fields (region, user ID, etc.).
  1. Deliver result — Synchronously or asynchronously: code in the response, or a pending order that completes in seconds.
  1. Webhooks — The platform POSTs to your URL when status changes so you do not poll.

Different products (Steam top-up, Roblox, gift card PIN) have different fields — good documentation lists them per endpoint.

Why webhooks matter at scale

If you poll "is my order ready?" every few seconds, you waste requests and add latency. Webhooks push events to your server: completed, failed, refunded. You verify a signature, update your database, and notify the user. For bots and high-volume shops, this is standard.

Security basics

  • Store API keys in environment variables or a secrets manager.
  • Use HTTPS for your webhook endpoint.
  • Verify webhook signatures if the provider publishes them (see webhooks docs).

Wholesale vs "API" buzzwords

Not every site with an API is wholesale. Ask: can you place orders in bulk? Is there documented wholesale pricing? Can you integrate without sending customers to a retail checkout? A real B2B stack is built around your business repeating orders, not a one-off affiliate link.
