Abstract

A method of activating a gift card at a retail entity is provided. The method includes performing a first transaction based on first data obtained from a closed, empty product; retrieving the gift card from a secure location in the retail entity; reading second data from the gift card through a reader; and transmitting the second data and a value to be assigned to the gift card to a financial database platform. The financial database platform assigns the value to an account resident on the financial database platform associated to the gift card so that the gift card is activated.
