Sell gift cards & game top-ups via WhatsApp bot — FazerCards integration guide
A WhatsApp bot reaches customers on the messenger they use daily, especially in emerging markets. The bot takes an order in chat, calls FazerCards, and delivers the gift-card code or top-up confirmation back in the same thread — great for regions where WhatsApp is the default commerce channel.
Integration steps
- 1
Open a FazerCards reseller account
Register at reseller.fazercards.com and start the 5-day Gold trial. No card or KYC required.
- 2
Retrieve your API key
In the dashboard, open Settings → API and copy the X-Api-Key. Store it server-side only.
- 3
Wire WhatsApp bot to the FazerCards REST API
Pull the catalog with GET /api/v2/catalog and place orders with POST /api/v2/order. Each order needs an Idempotency-Key (UUIDv4). Code-based SKUs return the code synchronously; ID top-ups complete via webhook.
- 4
Set up webhooks for instant delivery
Expose an HTTPS endpoint and register it in the dashboard. On order.completed, surface the code or confirmation in your channel. On order.failed, refund / retry per your business logic.
- 5
Charge the customer and reconcile
Take retail payment on your side (crypto, card, or local rails). Reconcile order-by-order against GET /api/v2/order/{id} and use GET /api/v2/balance for accounting.
What you get
- Sell where customers already chat — no app install needed.
- Crypto-native top-up of wholesale balance (USDT, Binance Pay).
- Real-time webhooks for instant automated delivery.
- 10,000+ SKUs in 1,000+ categories out of the box.
Watch out for
- API key is a bearer secret — keep it server-side.
- ID top-ups require the correct player identifier — validate before charging.
- Customer-facing UX (refund flows, support) is your whatsapp bot's responsibility, not FazerCards'.

FAQ
Do I need a paid plan to start?
No. The 5-day Gold trial gives the full API and full catalog access. Pick Bronze / Silver / Gold afterwards based on volume.
Which products sell best through a whatsapp bot?
For WhatsApp-first markets and chat commerce, the strongest sellers are Steam wallet, Amazon and Google Play gift cards, PUBG UC. The right mix depends on your audience, but these convert reliably in this channel.
Does a WhatsApp storefront need the official Business API?
For automated, scaled delivery use the WhatsApp Business API (via a provider); FazerCards is independent of the messenger layer — it just delivers the code your bot then forwards.
Is white-label possible?
Yes. The customer never sees FazerCards' brand — your channel owns the UX. See /white-label for details.
