In a June 18, 2025 guide, [zendit](https://giftcard.news/company/zendit/) discusses how activation, account security and transaction monitoring fit together. The source describes point-of-sale activation and additional verification where activation happens later. It also discusses reviewing unusual purchasing patterns, because fraud can involve compromised payment accounts as well as access to card credentials. zendit says its platform supports real-time and batch activation, with the activation process handled through its gift card management API. The provider also describes an on-demand purchasing model, allowing resellers to buy a card after receiving a customer order rather than pre-purchase every listed product. The account and integration controls described include multi-factor authentication, API key regeneration, IP restrictions, authenticated webhooks and transaction checks through ShieldWall. These are measures within the provider's described process, rather than a guarantee that fraudulent activity cannot occur. For administration, zendit lists transaction summaries, detailed purchase and sale records, and account statements. Reviewing those records can help a reseller identify activity that differs from a customer's usual pattern and decide whether it needs further attention. The guide's onboarding sequence moves from account creation and a sandbox environment to business, security and payment setup before production use. It also describes selecting gift card products by brand, country, region and denomination before connecting the API to the reseller's customer-facing systems. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Gift Card Activation Software Helps Reduce Fraud.
