- GiftCard — A gift card can be redeemed online for credits or at a retail store as a form of payment. It can be in one of the following states: 1. **pending**: This occurs before a gift card's payment has been captured and before it has been synchronized to the ERP system. We separate this step from the gift card creation so that we don't charge a customer's credit card, then fail to record this detail in the database. 2. **active**: This gift card is ready to be applied (or "claimed"), and has been synchronized to the ERP system. 3. **applied**: This gift card has been applied to a user account and recorded in their AccountBalance. 4. **voided**: The gift card has been voided and is no longer usable. The ERP system is the source of truth for gift cards, so any operations affecting a gift cards status or balance should first confirm the operation with the ERP.
