The distinction matters for retailers and payment providers because a merchant can receive a conventional payment without accepting cryptocurrency itself. The guide identifies [Bitrefill](https://giftcard.news/company/bitrefill/) as an example of the gift card route. A customer purchases prepaid retail value with crypto and then redeems the resulting card under the retailer's terms.

These purchases depend on the payment options offered for the particular booking or merchant. They differ from a converted card transaction, in which the conversion service handles the crypto balance while the merchant receives a payment through the card network.
